      <title>A Variety of ImageFIRST Locations Recognized Their Veteran Associates This Past November</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Seattle, WA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/02/2018 --  Several ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists locations recognized veteran associates this November. <br />
<br />
A number of the national medical linen rental and laundry provider&apos;s locations throughout the United States have veteran associates; some of them have as many as four. Recognition events at these locations ranged from celebratory gatherings around various types of food to providing gift bags and specially-designed sweatshirts to the local veterans.<br />
<br />
The Corporate office invited a veteran, currently a police officer, to come in and speak about his experiences in the United States Marines. Associates viewed informational slides about the Department of Defense, and they were able to ask the presenter questions. Then, the presenter as well as the office&apos;s veteran associate were presented with their sweatshirts.<br />
<br />
Other locations celebrated in different ways. The ImageFIRST Atlanta team made up gift bags for their veteran associates, while the North Carolina team held a special Veterans Day breakfast for all of their associates. The Dallas team celebrated by providing their team with red, white, and blue individual bags of popcorn, and also posted a list of associates with family members that served, which was framed and viewable for everyone. Finally, the ImageFIRST Los Angeles team created shadow boxes for their four veterans, which they presented during a lunch that featured the vets&apos; favorite foods.<br />
<br />
Magali Tranie, director of marketing at ImageFIRST, stated, "We wanted to honor what these brave men and women have done for this country. These celebrations allow us to show our heartfelt appreciation and thanks for their service as well as everything they do for ImageFIRST."<br />

After the associate of the week reads each note, they in turn write a response to the team. <br />
<br />
According to Wendy, everyone in the ImageFIRST Ft. Myers office enjoys playing the game. The associates&apos; responses are universally thankful, with recent responses expressing gratitude for co-workers as well as appreciation for the family-like culture that ImageFIRST cultivates. One associate recently wrote, "Everyone creates a positive moment with every interaction with each other"; another said, "I like that everyone works as a family. I&apos;m sad when anyone is missing. I love you all."<br />

      <title>ImageFIRST Seattle Partners with Area Health Systems for Successful Linen Management</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Philadelphia, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 07/08/2016 --  ImageFIRST Seattle goes beyond the typical medical linen and laundry provider role. Remarkable patient experiences are at the center of every product and service that ImageFIRST offers, from <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="healthcare bed supplies in Seattle, WA" href="http://seattle.imagefirst.com/healthcare-bed-linen-seattle">healthcare bed supplies in Seattle, WA</a> to sanitizing laundry processes across the nation.

<br />
As a provider of healthcare-specific linen, apparel and laundry services, ImageFIRST is exceptionally well-equipped to address the problems peculiar to health systems.

      <title>ImageFIRST Seattle Shares Results of Outpatient Study on Infection Prevention Procedures</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Seattle, WA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 06/10/2016 --  As patients migrate more towards outpatient settings, healthcare-associated infections have cropped up at greater rates in these facilities. These infection outbreaks have been known to be due in lapses in infection prevention, but otherwise not much is known about the overall status of infection prevention. A 2014 study reported in the American Journal of Infection Control sought to develop a better understanding of how closely these procedures were being followed during medical student rotation at 15 outpatient care facilities in New Mexico. ImageFIRST, a provider of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="sanitized medical uniforms in Seattle, WA" href="http://seattle.imagefirst.com/medical-scrub-uniforms-seattle">sanitized medical uniforms in Seattle, WA</a> (and beyond), has shared the results with customers to help them make better-informed decisions about infection prevention at their facilities.<br />
<br />
Overall, the study discovered areas of needed improvement in infection prevention procedures.  Alcohol disinfection of medical vial rubber septums was observed the majority of the time (78.4%) in 163 injections. However, the occurrence of hand-washing procedures was notably more lax: Out of 333 hand hygiene observations, alcohol handrub was used 33.9% of the time, and soap and water were used 29.1% of the time. 37% of the time, no hand hygiene was used.<br />
<br />
These findings, concluded the article, indicate that outpatient facilities needs quality improvement in infection prevention programs and practices, including hand hygiene and injection safety. The article&apos;s authors suggested that self-report and behavior observation is one improvement method, and also suggested that medical students can share quality improvement measures during rotations. Additionally, healthcare facilities can collaborate with public health officials to improve healthcare provider education.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Seattle, WA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/16/2016 --  Consumers are taking to location-based social media services like Yelp to rate medical facilities. Although Yelp was originally used for reviewing stores and restaurants, its online critiques have expanded to other arenas such as healthcare facilities. Therefore, patients are now rating healthcare facilities in the same way they rate restaurants – how they felt they were being treated. This rising trend in consumer-like behavior among patients presents that focusing on the patient experience is highly essential for medical facilities aiming to provide the most exceptional level of care. <br />

The healthcare laundry specialists strive to provide laundry sourcing solutions that are focused on helping to improve the patient experience – because like the healthcare facilities they serve, they too put patients at the heart of what they do. <br />
<br />
Some of their remarkable laundry services include an assigned Customer Advocate who helps with inventory control and management along with providing customer service and delivery, around-the-clock communication for customer service with the Instant Service App and Online Customer Portal, and Same-Day Linen Rescue for those unexpectedly busy days.

According to a post on the blog Not Running a Hospital that was written by Paul Levy, the former president and CEO of Boston-based Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, one of the ways to instill a positive impact in the healthcare workplace is to acknowledge appreciation and gratitude from others by using appropriate responses.

      <title>ImageFIRST Seattle Keeps Medical Facilities Adequately Sourced with Laundry During Flu Season</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Seattle, WA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 12/30/2015 --  Although flu season typically peaks between the months of December and February, the timing is unpredictable, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the article, "What You Should Know for the 2015-2016 Influenza Season," from Infection Control Today. Because there is no telling exactly when the epidemic will occur, medical facilities need to make sure they are well-equipped with healthcare laundry products such as bed linens, garments and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="nurse scrubs in Seattle, WA" href="http://seattle.imagefirst.com/medical-scrub-uniforms-seattle">nurse scrubs in Seattle, WA</a>. The patient-perception-focused medical laundry provider, ImageFIRST Seattle, adequately sources healthcare facilities with high-quality products through their cleaning, delivering and renting services.  <br />

Their robes and gowns for patients are also extremely comfortable, warm and soft, which can help patients have a positive experience while being treated, and enhance their perception of the healthcare facility. <br />
<br />
When the flu season peaks, busy days are likely to occur without warning, making the laundry product inventory decrease faster. But, thanks to the laundry provider&apos;s loyal Customer Advocates, healthcare centers will be provided with Same-Day Linen Rescue, if needed. The Customer Advocates work hand-in-hand with their assigned medical facilities to help them with inventory management and prevent inventory shortages. Healthcare facilities can contact their dedicated Customer Advocate at any time by calling their cell phone or by using the Instant Service App. <br />

      <title>ImageFIRST Seattle Follows Bright White Standard for Medical Linens</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Seattle, WA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/30/2015 --  The passage of the Affordable Healthcare Act in 2010 has provided Americans with more options for seeking outpatient healthcare facilities, causing an increasingly competitive market for providers. Recent research, such as the surveys conducted by the Beryl Institute&apos;s 2015 State of Patient Experience report, show that improving patient experience in medical facilities is a rising trend centered on achieving a successful healthcare business. One major aspect that has an effect on patient perception is the quality of the sheets and towels provided during treatment. With the quality laundry services of ImageFIRST, a leading provider of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="scrubs and uniforms in Seattle, WA" href="http://seattle.imagefirst.com/medical-scrub-uniforms-seattle">scrubs and uniforms in Seattle, WA</a>, medical facilities are equipped with linens that are bright white in color every time, due to the Bright White Standard that is part of their 5-Point Product Quality System.<br />
<br />
When patients are provided with towels and sheets that appear gray in color and lack in quality, it may have a negative effect on their perception of the healthcare facility where they are receiving treatment. Unfortunately, after so many washes, the original shade of medical linens can start to fade, causing them to look discolored and dreary. However, healthcare facilities can help improve patient satisfaction by turning to the premium medical laundry specialists at ImageFIRST Seattle to provide them with medical linens that are always bright white in color.<br />
<br />
ImageFIRST Seattle determines the bright white quality of their medical linen products through an analysis conducted by a third party laboratory. Product samples are sent to be analyzed using a special scanning device that measures the color quality present in the fabric. The medical laundry specialists then check that their linens are meeting their Bright White Standard using the analysis results. If they do not, then a solution is put in place to correct the color issue. <br />
<br />
Healthcare facilities can depend on ImageFIRST Seattle to provide them with bright white medical linens that can help enhance patient perception. For more details on how their laundry services can assist with increasing patient satisfaction, call 1-800-932-7472.

      <title>ImageFIRST Seattle Helping Healthcare Providers Improve Environmental Hygiene by Preventing Laundry Contamination</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Seattle, WA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/02/2015 --  There are many ways by which infections can be spread in hospitals and outpatient medical clinics, and, in the U.S., 99% of healthcare facilities are actively working toward improving their environmental hygiene, according to a survey taken by Infection Control Today. This same survey showed that most hospitals (55% of those surveyed) felt inadequately funded and staffed to provide the most effective environmental services possible. Leveraging vendor partners – such as <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ImageFIRST Seattle" href="http://seattle.imagefirst.com/">ImageFIRST Seattle</a>, a provider of healthcare laundry services – can assist area medical facilities in fulfilling their cleaning and disinfection efforts while saving medical staff valuable time.<br />
<br />
ImageFIRST provides outpatient medical facilities and hospitals with sanitized medical laundry that goes beyond OSHA-regulated standards of sanitation, thanks in part to their unique Triple BioShield Protection process. Laundry undergoes a special sanitary wash, application of a softener that inhibits bacteria post-laundering, and wrapping of all laundry in plastic to ensure its continued cleanliness during the delivery process. <br />
<br />
Along with their unique sanitation process, ImageFIRST Seattle and other locations nationwide have put a heavy emphasis on their customer service, understanding that helping to provide their clients with excellent, comprehensive care can also contribute to the effort to improve environmental hygiene by freeing up their time to concentrate on patients and other areas of sanitation. Their 5-point quality system includes the AssuranceFIRST philosophy that client and patient satisfaction and quality control, including the "little details," should always come first.<br />
