San Antonio, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/02/2018 -- ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists shared a story about an associate who went beyond his typical job duties in order to recover and return a young patient's stuffed animal.

ImageFIRST provides medical linen rental and laundry services for healthcare facilities. Their associates deliver and pick up scrubs, patient gowns, and healthcare bed linens in Austin, TX, and many other locations throughout the United States. While making a delivery at a Dallas medical center, one of the associates went above his ordinary duties.

A 4-year-old patient at a Cleburne, Texas surgery center chose to bring her kitten stuffed animal with her during the procedure. In the midst of being discharged, she left the toy behind in her hospital bed. After she left, the stuffed animal was accidentally tossed in a soiled linen bag along with the bed sheets.

Her mother called the facility, explaining that her daughter needed her favorite stuffed animal during recovery. The staff was unaware of the toy's location.

When Brock, an ImageFIRST Customer Advocate, came to service the facility the following week, the staff informed him of the missing stuffed animal. Brock took the initiative to look through the bags of soiled linen. He found the toy, and once he recovered it, he returned it to the young patient. He also gave her a Violet Cow stuffed animal to replace the kitten while her mother washed it.

The medical facility's administrator stated, "I just wanted to give a 'shout out' to Brock for the personable service and professional presence he always brings when visiting our center, for the way he bonds with my staff, but most recently because we asked Brock for help in recovering a 4-year-old's treasured toy."

"He exceeded our expectations," she added.

ImageFIRST's services are designed to help medical facilities increase patient satisfaction. Associates known as Customer Advocates form partnerships with medical facilities. Beyond dropping off and picking up linen, ImageFIRST Customer Advocates serve as a constant point of contact for customers' linen needs, and assist with inventory management tasks so that customers can focus their time and attention on patient care.

The company's family standard is defined as providing patients only with medical linen service and products that associates would give to their own family members.

Protecting associates, patients and customers from bacteria is one of the parts of upholding the family standard. ImageFIRST's Triple Bioshield Protection® process ensures that linens are sanitized with a dead-on-contact wash that kills up to 99.999% of pathogens, plus an anti-bacterial coating that inhibits pathogen proliferation and individual plastic wrapping that protects linen in transit. This process is one of the many in place that serves as a result of ImageFIRST San Antonio's commitment to their family standard.

ImageFIRST's laundry processes meet or exceed standards set by OSHA, CDC, and HLAC, comply with The Joint Commission requirements, and also meet their own internal standards as well. Internally, the company ensures compliance to all standards with daily checking procedures, decontamination and documentation. Products are evaluated monthly by the company's vendor partners and then tested by independent third parties to ensure that the cleanliness standard is being upheld.

For nurse scrubs in San Antonio, TX, as well all other medical linens, ImageFIRST San Antonio only offers products from trusted manufacturers. Individual hand inspections are performed on-site to ensure that if gowns are stained or ripped, that they are replaced immediately.

San Antonio, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/30/2016 -- At ImageFIRST, scrubs and uniforms in San Marcos, TX and throughout the state is only a part of what they do. The company enriches the lives of the medical professionals they work with, the patients at the facilities they deliver to and also the people of their community. With quarterly giving events, each associate gives back in their own way.

Recently, ImageFIRST Dallas spent time working with the educators and administrators at Hillwood Middle School, named a "Texas School to Watch" by the Texas Middle School Association. The company donated over 100 sheets to the school for painting projects that will allow students and volunteers to revitalize the classrooms and hallways. The school will also be one of the recipients of the company's upcoming backpack drive.

ImageFIRST Dallas also gathered donations of useful goods to the needy. The company traveled to The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center to donate starter baskets to the individuals there. The recovery center helps provide for the homeless by providing them with housing. Unfortunately, most of the affected individuals don't have the necessities to get their new household up and running. ImageFIRST Dallas tended to that problem by providing those in need with sheets, towels, laundry detergent, dishes and other needed products.

ImageFIRST Dallas is looking forward to participating in another charitable event in June. The Back On My Feet 5k race will take place on June 25th. ImageFIRST Dallas will be represented by their associates in the race.

ImageFIRST Dallas isn't the only location making a remarkable impact on patients and the community. At ImageFIRST San Antonio, each associate possesses their own expertise, whether it's in delivering and stocking nurses uniforms in San Marcos, TX, or in packaging linens to ensure the highest standard. Each associate undertakes their duties in their position but also strives to represent their company in their own charitable giving.

San Antonio, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/09/2016 -- In a city, a business that's there long enough and grows its roots deep enough is considered a member of that community. While not every single business attempts to do this, some special companies work to integrate themselves in the neighborhoods in which they do business. While there are different ways to give back, charitable work makes an impression on the families and individuals most in need.

ImageFIRST San Antonio, known for their medical scrubs and uniforms in Austin, TX, recently spent time giving back to the community in which they work. This past April, associates traveled to the San Antonio Food Bank and upon their arrival began packaging and preparing food for families in need in the San Antonio Metropolitan area.

The associates enjoyed working as a team to serve their community. While they were certainly happy to engage in the act of charitable giving, it was also a great activity to foster co-worker relationships. Yolanda Salinas, an associate at ImageFIRST San Antonio, said, "It makes me feel good that I am helping people in my community."

San Antonio Food Bank was chosen as a site to volunteer due to its status in the area. The food bank has served the men, women and children of the city for many years, providing for families that have fallen on hard times.

San Antonio, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/07/2016 -- A recent article in Health Facilities Management Online tackled one of the biggest concerns for all medical facilities and for many businesses across several industries: cost management. The article focused specifically on EVS and was titled "Budgeting Advice For Environmental Services Professionals."

The article covered budget modeling, categories, predictability and revenue. It laid out specific elements for EVS professionals to consider, taking into account concierge services as a source of possible consolidation and, therefore, cost reduction. The efficacy of concierge services in improving the patient experience was further highlighted: "Patients expect good medical care, but surprising acts of kindness and compassion can go much further."

ImageFIRST San Antonio, one of the leading providers of nurse uniforms in Austin, TX, helps medical staff, including EVS professionals save time by providing much needed services and products. The Customer Advocates take their time to get the job done properly, stocking inventory with individually wrapped gowns to cut down on the time that other medical professionals would need to spend away from their other tasks. The Customer Advocates don't just "drop and punt;" instead, they work with the facilities they serve to learn their needs and systems to provide the best possible service.

ImageFIRST San Antonio provides individually wrapped gowns not only for an uncommonly comfortable patient experience, but also because it significantly reduces the chances of infection. The company's infection standards exceed that of the industry and regulation. ImageFIRST works hard to provide the best value to its customers by taking on much of the linen management work on so EVS staff can better focus on patient care.

San Antonio, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/16/2016 -- ImageFIRST San Antonio, a leading provider of healthcare facility laundry services and medical scrubs in San Antonio, TX, recently released a video detailing their ValueFIRST, a unique way of helping medical facilities manage their costs with inventory control and transparent invoices. The program is based upon ImageFIRST's ideal that billing in the healthcare industry should not be confusing.

The video, titled "A Good Investment with ValueFIRST," discusses some of the common ways in which traditional billing methods can be unnecessarily convoluted, and how ImageFIRST San Antonio's ValueFIRST approach resolves those issues. They go on to explain that they work with healthcare providers individually to determine their inventory levels, based upon their specific needs and patient volume. From there, they provide linen which reflect those numbers to avoid overstock, and thus, overpayment.

Through their ValueFIRST initiative, ImageFIRST San Antonio promises to make meaningful relationships with their clients by providing them with flat-rate billing and exemplary service overall. Furthermore, ImageFIRST San Antonio customer advocates are available to assist healthcare providers in optimizing their inventories to best suit their individual facilities.

San Antonio, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2016 -- Cubicle curtains are one of the vehicles for pathogens in a medical facility—often harboring potentially deadly pathogens like MRSA or VRE—and infection preventionists sometimes struggle to adequately address properly cleaning and handling them. The struggle is due to both the lack of resources to manage the curtains and the rate of contamination: In one CDC study, 92% of cubicle curtains were infected one week after being hung.

According to an Infection Control Today survey, 55% of hospital leaders and infection preventionists (IPs) believe that their healthcare system's environmental services department is inadequately resourced, leaving patients and staff at the risk for infection. IPs can only do so much, since they also depend on their healthcare system's environmental services department to make sure that supplies, equipment and surfaces are properly cleaned, disposed of and replaced so that bacteria and viruses aren't given the opportunity to spread.

Because of this perceived lack of resources, medical facility managers and staff tasked with infection prevention may feel frustrated by what seems like a limited scope of power over pathogens, not to mention the risk of staff and patients falling ill.

ImageFIRST San Antonio, a medical linen and laundry provider that deals exclusively in healthcare-focused processes, services and products like scrubs and uniforms in San Marcos, TX, has a solution to help. Their Cubicle Curtain Program is a cost-effective service that reduces the risk of pathogen transmission by regularly replacing and cleaning curtains with a powerful sanitization process.

ImageFIRST's Cubicle Curtain Program is completely unique, from ImageFIRST's signature commitment to product safety and quality to a rental model unprecedented in its convenience. First, customers select their preferred fabric and size, so that their patients are greeted with a pleasing, uniform curtain appearance. There are no up-front costs for starting the program, and the curtains are rented, not purchased, so that customers never have to deal with a capital expenditure budget.

Once the curtains are selected, ImageFIRST staff installs them. From there on out, ImageFIRST's friendly, professional associates handle removing and replacing cubicle curtains, leaving facility staff free to do what they do best: take care of patients and deliver the excellent care they are passionate about.

When curtains are removed for cleaning, ImageFIRST takes careful steps to ensure that its products are sanitized. Their Triple BioShield Protection process is an infection protection system that kills up to 99.999% of common pathogens thanks to an advanced wash process and softener, which creates a bacteria-inhibiting zone on curtains even while they are in use. Curtains are also scanned by UHF RFID for tracking and infection prevention.

Healthcare acquired infections are projected to cost the healthcare industry $45 billion this year, and one in twenty patients who stay in a hospital are predicted to acquire an infection as a result. With ImageFIRST San Antonio's Cubicle Curtains Program, plus sanitized products like nurses' uniforms in Marcos, TX, healthcare facility managers can reduce costs and infection risk.

San Antonio, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/29/2015 -- By far, one of the most important aspects of any patient's experience at a healthcare facility is how they are cared for by staff members. Nurses, in particular, are essential to providing patients with effective, compassionate care.

As the patient experience becomes a bigger driving factor in how patients choose healthcare providers, it is more important that facilities strategize on how to improve staff performance. According to information just shared by ImageFIRST San Antonio, a provider of nurse scrubs in San Antonio, TX, healthcare facilities should look to improve the nurse work environment to increase nursing performance.

As shared by ImageFIRST, Becker's Hospital Review recently summarized the findings of a Press Ganey Holdings report, showing that nurses' work environment has as much of an effect on their job performance as staffing does. Collecting statistical data from various sources, the "Nursing Special Report" found that HCAHPS scores increase with better work environments, regardless of staffing. The report also observed a correlation between poor nursing environments and worse performance even when high staffing was present, and found that "effective and efficient" environments enhance care quality perceptions on the part of both nurse and patient.

ImageFIRST service can help medical facilities create the kind of work environment conducive to top nursing performance and positive perceptions for both staff and patients. Service from ImageFIRST is geared towards facilitating healthcare providers' ability to provide consistently excellent and attentive care to their patients. This is accomplished through built-in services, like dependable support from each facility's dedicated Customer Advocate and transparent billing that saves healthcare providers time and ensures cost-effectiveness.

By switching to ImageFIRST products like scrub uniforms in San Antonio, TX, healthcare providers improve both staff and patient perceptions of their facility.

San Antonio, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/05/2015 -- ImageFIRST San Antonio, the city's largest linen and laundry service exclusively serving medical facilities, prioritizes hygiene and sanitization in all of their services. Preventing hospital-acquired infections is an arduous task, and ImageFIRST San Antonio takes special care to launder and prepare their products for delivery in order to minimize the risk of contamination to the fullest extent. Since ImageFIRST San Antonio cares about the success of their clients, as well as the health of patients visiting their clients' facilities, they have shared a recent study on hospital hygiene procedures.

The 2014 Leapfrog Hospital Survey analyzed data from 1,501 rural and urban hospitals in the US to find, among other relevant conclusions, that one in four hospitals have not implemented all ten hand hygiene practices and policies recommended by the Leapfrog Group, a program that analyzes and reports on hospital performance to improve consumer options. Such hygiene practices include training and educating all hospital staff on hygiene and implementing hygiene performance improvement projects.

While this finding indicates a need for significant hygiene improvement overall, the study also found that the percentage of hospitals practicing all ten policies increased from 69 percent in 2013, to 77 percent in 2014. Furthermore, 99 percent of all hospitals surveyed implemented hospital-wide education on handwashing hygiene.

ImageFIRST San Antonio hopes that the results of this study will aid its clients in making smart policy decisions that improve each patients' experience. The company is committed to helping its clients improve hospital-wide hygiene by protecting each linen item or garment that they launder with its proprietary Triple BioShield Protection process, which sanitizes garments, treats them with a bacteria-resistant softener and packages them in sealed plastic to prevent contamination.
