Their efforts contributed to the availability of affordable clothing and housewares for community members.

Concurrently with ImageFIRST Dallas, ImageFIRST San Antonio also celebrated Community Giving Day by participating at their local blood bank. Associates gave blood and helped with the registration of other volunteers at the bank.

Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/23/2016 -- ImageFIRST Houston strives to be a leader in the healthcare laundry industry, and a crucial part of this is their genuine commitment to exceptional service. For example, every client has their own Customer Advocate, someone who is personally responsible for making sure that the customer facility's linen management is efficient, deliveries are made on time, and that all inventory is up the high standards of ImageFIRST. The Customer Advocate also promptly responds to any sudden changes in inventory needs, whether there's an urgent increase in demand for anything from linen or patient gowns to scrubs or nurses' uniforms in Houston, TX.

The Customer Advocate system is a part of ImageFIRST Houston's dedication for being respectful, which is one of the company's official values. As the people most often and most closely in contact with the client facility's staff, Customer Advocates play a significant part in enacting the value of respectfulness through their courteous and kind daily interactions.

Paul Levy, a former CEO of a large hospital who blogs about industry related issues, recently revisited his post about the importance of how to respond to being thanked, which is directly related to the ImageFIRST Houston approach to customer interactions and exceptional service. He explained how answering "No problem" to being thanked, in fact and particularly in a sensitive environment like a hospital where people can feel anxious, diminishes a person's gratefulness. Instead he suggested answering with phrases such as "It's my pleasure" to convey both and understanding of the other person's feelings as well as how gladly the help was given.

ImageFIRST is a leading provider of healthcare laundry services and products from patient gowns to medical uniforms and scrubs in Houston, TX. They are dedicated to an excellence of service that guarantees a medical facility's staff is free to focus on the important work of providing the best possible care for their patients.

Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2016 -- When medical facilities compare healthcare laundry providers in order to choose the best one, an aspect they don't always consider is how confusing billing methods can be in this industry. In terms of cost-efficiency, being aware of what hidden fees can lurk in a medical facility's laundry bill will help the facility save money without bargaining for quality. That's why ImageFIRST Houston is happy to share some of the insights they have gathered during almost fifty years in the healthcare laundry business.

For example, a term often used to hide extra fees is the "minimum inventory weekly charge". To explain what that means, it's first important to know that the total circulating inventory is the amount of product the medical facility has been estimated to use any given week, times two. That's because if a facility is estimated to use, for example, one hundred sheets a week, the total circulating inventory for many healthcare laundry providers is counted to be two hundred, because while one hundred sheets are at the facility, the other hundred are being washed. The minimum inventory weekly charge comes in automatically if a facility during any given week uses less than forty-five percent of their total circulating inventory. The facility will get billed for the forty-five percent regardless of much less they actually used. In the long run, this can jack up the price per sheet and overall expenses noticeably.

On top of the minimum inventory weekly charge, many companies use what is known as the "delayed exchange delivery system". In practice, it means that the laundry they pick up this week will be the amount of clean laundry the facility receives back the following week. There are no calculations to ensure items are not lost, which easily leads to the gradual lowering of inventory levels. In addition, the on-site inventory is always fluctuating; so, if a low usage week is followed by a high usage week, there will not be enough of the products available. That will, in turn, require a request for more products, which will increase the total circulating inventory and the minimum inventory weekly charges. Naturally, all of this drives up costs.

ImageFIRST Houston, a leading provider of healthcare laundry products from scrubs and patient gowns to linen and nurses' uniforms in Houston, TX, is proud to announce their commitment to having no hidden fees in their billing. That means no minimum inventory weekly charge, auto replacement, budget protection or other hidden fees. ImageFIRST also guarantees that a facility that needs one hundred sheets on hand will always have that amount of high-quality sheets in their inventory, and the facility's own Customer Advocate is personally responsible for making sure that the inventory stays at the needs-based level.

Anyone interested in more information should check out the ImageFIRST video on the subject, and those interested in more information on ImageFIRST Houston's healthcare laundry products that range from linen to medical uniforms scrubs in Houston, TX, is welcome to either visit the company's website or to contact them directly by calling 1-800-932-7472.

Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2015 -- On November 24, 2015, Press Ganey, a provider of patient experience measurements in the healthcare industry, announced that they have official approval to begin administering surveys to Medicare and Medicaid Services. The Outpatient & Ambulatory Surgery (AOS) CAHPS Survey is for hospital-based outpatient surgery departments, as well as for free-standing ambulatory surgery centers, and its primary focus is to discover how patients feel about the care they receive and, through that, discover ways to improve the patient experience. In practice, this survey will have a similar effect on surgery centers that the HCAHPS had on hospitals, meaning that it will serve to increase focus on overall patient satisfaction. On a larger scale, this is the most recent in a series of developments that clearly show the increasing importance of patient experience in the healthcare industry, as patients become more aware of the quality of the care they receive.

ImageFIRST Houston, a premier provider of products from linen and patient gowns to nurse uniforms and medical scrubs in Houston, TX, specializes in supporting their clients in improving the patient experience at their facilities. The company has multiple products and services designed specifically with the patient experience in mind, but it's all exemplified by ImageFIRST Houston's Plush Promise. This promise reflects the company's confidence in the high quality of their products and the difference that they can make, as it promises that if the ImageFIRST Comfort Care products don't improve the patients' perception of the facility by at least 50% after switching from their current patient gowns, the client facility will receive a free month of service.

There is more information available about ImageFIRST Houston, their various products from linen and patient gowns to scrub uniforms in Houston, TX, and the Plush Promise on the company website or by calling 1-800-932-7472.

Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2015 -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) aims to control and prevent diseases, injuries and disabilities. As the nation enters the flu season, considered to start at the beginning of October and last until the end of May, they have come out with additional information on what causes the flu season and how individuals can minimize their risk of infection. While it's impossible to predict the specifics of what a flu season will be like and what kinds of viruses will circulate during it, the CDC does give educated estimates that, for example, flu vaccines are based on.

While vaccination is the primary method of flu prevention recommended by the CDC for individuals, as far as facilities like hospitals go, the flu season is an excellent reminder on the importance of infection control. ImageFIRST Houston wants to work together with their clientele on infection prevention to create a safe working environment for hospital employees as well as improve patient welfare through reduced readmission rates. That's why the company has created services like the Triple BioShield Protection, which includes all gowns, uniforms and linen being sanitized according to the highest standards, being coated with protective safeguards and getting delivered in plastic wraps.

Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/21/2015 -- OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, recently published a special report regarding standards in the healthcare laundry industry and the violations of these standards. OSHA works to ensure the safety of both the employees handling laundry as well as the patients, and monitors deficiencies or violations regarding the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) guidelines. This work is extremely important as employees who handle garments and linens soiled with blood, for example, are at risk of contracting infectious diseases.

With the revelation of recent violations of the CDC guidelines, OSHA has provided further advice and reminders on maintaining a safe working environment for healthcare laundry employees. Among the highlighted issues is the importance of safe, leakage-free packaging of laundry that's marked correctly to reflect its biohazardous status. It's a crucial, yet occasionally overlooked, aspect of healthcare laundry safety. As one of the leading providers of high-quality healthcare laundry services, ImageFIRST Houston is well aware of this concern, and it's why they offer a comprehensive approach to contaminated laundry that not only meets, but exceeds, the OSHA requirements. For example, the company's Triple BioShield Protection is a three-step infection prevention system that includes both a protective coating safeguard as well as a plastic barrier on all handled items.

ImageFIRST Houston also offers their Customer Advocate service, where a customer is assigned a personal advocate who supports every aspect of the facility's laundry needs or concerns. This allows the facility to have a safe, OSHA-compliant healthcare laundry environment that advocates a positive atmosphere in the hospital. Anyone interested in ImageFIRST Houston's comprehensive approach to healthcare laundry services can visit the company website or contact them directly by calling 800-932-7472.
