Nashville, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/28/2017 -- A number of ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists locations throughout the country recognized their veteran associates this November.

Many of ImageFIRST's locations employ veteran associates, and some of them have as many as four. Celebratory recognition events for the veterans ranged from gatherings around food to providing gift bags and presenting a specially-designed sweatshirt to the vets in attendance.

The ImageFIRST Corporate Office invited a veteran, who is currently a police officer, to come speak to them about his experiences in the United States Marines. ImageFIRST associates asked him questions and viewed informational slides about the Department of Defense. Afterwards, the presenter and the office's veteran associate were recognized and presented with a sweatshirt.

The Dallas team celebrated by providing their associates with red, white, and blue popcorn bags. They also posted a list of associates with family members that served, which was framed and viewable by everyone.

The Chicago team played "Patriotic Games," and the Atlanta team made gift bags for their veterans. The North Carolina team held a Veterans Day breakfast for all of their associates, while the LA team created shadow boxes for their four veteran associates.

"We wanted to honor what these brave men and women have done for this country," stated Magali Tranie, director of marketing at ImageFIRST. She went on to say, "These celebrations allow us to show our appreciation and thanks for their service and everything that they do at ImageFIRST."

ImageFIRST, a medical linen provider serving Tennessee, and other areas across the United States and Puerto Rico, partners with medical facilities by offering linen inventory management services that help customers with cost control and allow them more time to focus on patient care.

Going over strategies to engage staff as well as leadership, Moore provides tools for affecting the level of engagement in any medical facility, regardless of size or staffing.

Nashville, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/13/2016 -- This past January, ImageFIRST, a provider of healthcare laundry services and linen like sheets, patient gowns, and medical scrub uniforms from Tennessee to Los Angeles, celebrated its annual All Associate Day. On that day, each of the company's locations celebrate the hard work and contributions of the company associates that make ImageFIRST the largest and fasted-growing provider of linen and laundry services to medical facilities. ImageFIRST Tennessee was among the locations that recognized the company's remarkable employees this year.

Nashville, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/25/2016 -- Healthcare facilities, professionals, and the services they provide for have had to adapt to a changing landscape in recent years. Enhancing the patient experience, infection prevention and cost management have weighed more heavily on the minds of the heads of medical offices and health systems. As technology continues to grow in-tandem with the healthcare field, the possibilities for improving patient care have become almost limitless. The logistics, on the other hand, have become perhaps more burdensome.

In the 21st century, the modern world has been subject to the rapid growth of internet-based, constantly interconnected technologies. The patient experience has not been left out of this cycle. Social media platforms have allowed medical facilities to see the feedback of their patient's experiences in real-time, both good and bad. The Affordable Care Act and the CAHPS survey have helped create a more consumer-like environment for patients.

Healthcare facilities have responded to these new trends and new challenges by focusing on enhancing the patient experience. ImageFIRST Tennessee has aided the medical facilities they serve better adapt to these new strategies not just by providing laundering services for medical scrub products in Tennessee, but also by providing them with patient gowns that are shown to increase patient perception of their facility: The Comfort Care™ line.

Another focus for healthcare professionals has been minimizing healthcare acquired infections, a serious concern for management. The Joint Commission has renewed their efforts to combat this problem and demonstrated how seriously they take the issue by announcing Ronald M. Wyatt, MD, MHA, as the first Patient Safety Officer.

While a better patient experience and infection prevention have been two of the concerns at the forefront of the medical industry, cost management has continued to be a factor. Consolidating health systems and an increasingly competitive environment has put additional cost management pressures on leadership teams.

ImageFIRST Tennessee continues to assist healthcare professionals in these needs by providing medical laundering services, patient gowns, and medical uniform products in Tennessee. With their unique offering of ComfortFIRST, AssuranceFIRST and ValueFIRST, they've established themselves as a company aimed at putting the patient at the center of everything they do, and helping the medical facilities they service adapt now, and in the future.

Nashville, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/01/2016 -- In order for nurses to provide topnotch care for their patients, the healthcare environment needs to be adequately sourced and be of high-quality. According to a report that was released by Press Ganey Holdings last year, titled "Nursing Special Report: The Influence of Nurse Work Environment on Patient, Payment and Nurse Outcomes in Acute Care Settings", some medical facilities had low scores for patient experience due to poor nurse work environments, despite the fact that their staff count was high.

The bed linens, garments and nurses uniforms provided to patients at Tennessee medical facilities can play a role in affecting the quality of nurse work environments. ImageFIRST Tennessee, the medical laundry provider, offers cleaning, renting and delivery services that can help to improve the quality of nurse work environments, which can in turn enhance patient perception for medical facilities. The report states that effective and efficient nurse work environments enhance not only patient perception but nurse perceptions of medical facilities as well.

ImageFIRST Tennessee operates with patient-perception-focused practices that can help to improve the overall quality of the nurse work environment. Their 5-Point Product Quality System follows specific practices and standards so that laundry products are kept in top condition. For example, their Bright White Standard certifies that all bed linens are bright white in color at all times, while their packaging method makes sure that the gowns are individually sealed for freshness and cleanliness. The practice also checks that only quality products are offered with fabrics that provide comfort, warmth and softness.

With the topnotch laundry services of ImageFIRST Tennessee, medical facilities can make sure that their nurse work environments are up to par for achieving positive patient perception.

But, the release of the new pink robe wasn't their idea – it was a suggestion from one of the many healthcare facilities that they serve.

Nashville, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/03/2015 -- If contaminated laundry is mishandled, it can impose a threat to the health of all those exposed. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) lists specific imperatives that laundry care providers should follow to make sure that infection prevention efforts are effective.

Their unique laundry cleaning processes are OSHA compliant so that they can protect their employees, customers and customers' patients from healthcare-acquired infections.

The laundry healthcare specialists handle contaminated laundry by following OSHA's standards, some of which include transporting soiled laundry in containers that are leak-proof, bagging contaminated laundry in the location where they were used, and labeling containers with the biohazard symbol or using red bags. ImageFIRST Tennessee eliminates the risk of infectious materials exposure further by sanitizing their products with the Triple BioShield Protection process, which entails a washing technique that kills up to 99.999% of germs and the application of a protective coating softener that safeguards the products during delivery. The process also includes the encasement of plastic wrap to avoid environmental contamination.

Healthcare facilities can depend on ImageFIRST Tennessee to supply them with healthcare attire and linens that adhere to the infection prevention imperatives mandated by OSHA. Their 5-Point Product Quality System also coordinates with the regulations of OSHA because it ensures that the medical laundry products are comfortable, soft and cleaned with superior sanitation procedures, bright white in appearance, individually sealed, and regulated through the performance of independent lab testing to ensure they meet government standards.

Nashville, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/09/2015 -- The cleaning and handling of linens, robes and garments in the healthcare environment tend to raise questions amongst medical professionals about whether the laundry processes are effective in preventing the spread of infection. To put the minds of healthcare professionals at ease, the leading provider of medical laundry services, ImageFIRST Tennessee aims to explain in detail their infection prevention strategies. The company puts specific processes in place to ensure that their laundry is fully disinfected in compliance with healthcare standards and regulations. Delivering healthcare facilities with top quality medical laundry services is their core goal, so as to provide for each patient's wellbeing.

While experts say that the outbreaks of diseases caused by laundered healthcare textiles are extremely rare, with only 12 accounts having been reported globally in 43 years, a failure in the process of laundering or exposure to environmental contamination are still two possible causes of infection. According to research, the oxidative laundry additives used to sanitize and disinfect healthcare textiles in modern cleaning processes meets the standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. ImageFIRST Tennessee goes above and beyond those standards, ensuring that their products are more than sanitized using their Triple BioShield Protection system. In addition, these laundry specialists make sure their garments are sealed with plastic after being cleaned to prevent contamination from occurring; sheets and towels are packaged in quantities of 5 or 10, while gowns are packed individually to initiate further prevention.

Although patient-to-patient transmission of infection is not linked to the industry process standards of laundering healthcare textiles, work-related spread of infection has involved the failure to use equipment properly as well as the mishandling of soiled textiles. To avoid such possible outcomes, the company has robust quality assurance processes, up to 99.999% bacteria-free sanitation, and all their products sent on an ongoing basis to a third party for independent lab testing to confirm that their healthcare textiles meet infection prevention standards.

Healthcare facilities can depend on the ImageFIRST Tennessee laundry specialists to provide them with topnotch customer service and quality products. For more information on the infection prevention practices adhered to by ImageFIRST Tennessee, please visit their website.
