Patients' reported satisfaction in their overall medical experience is of increasing importance when it comes to finding ways to improve performance and reduce patient discomfort and, in November, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reflected this trend by approving the administration of a CAHPS survey directed specifically at Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery (OAS) facilities. Centers and surgery departments that fall into these categories will be required to administer the survey after 2017 – meaning an increased focus on enhanced patient experience is now happening across the nation. While many factors can influence a patient's experience during their care, there's one that's easy to change: comfort. With healthcare laundry services and uniquely cozy gowns from ImageFIRST Detroit's Comfort Care line, hospitals can make a major impact on overall patient perception of their facilities by switching to this innovative, unbelievably soft product.

Reducing patient suffering and raising their reported satisfaction with the care they receive is always a main focus of hospitals – whether this feedback is recorded or not. However, the results of surveys that measure patient perception of facilities often ultimately determine important factors, such as rankings and ratings, which influence a facility's reputation for quality of care. Recently, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has announced their approval for the administration of a new, mandatory CAHPS survey starting in 2017, designed specifically to give patients of Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery Facilities a chance to give feedback on their experience. With ImageFIRST Chicago, a provider of sanitized scrubs, gowns, robes, linens and nurses' uniforms in Louisville, KY and Chicago, area medical providers can benefit from remarkable healthcare laundry service with patient comfort foremost in mind.
