Lancaster, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/09/2016 -- In the medical industry, professionals and administrators are continuously looking for ways to positively impact patient care. The field has grown more competitive, with patients able to access real-time reviews of local facilities and consolidation-minded leadership. The landscape of healthcare is changing, those that are adapting are finding new opportunities in affecting the patient experience.
ImageFIRST Lancaster, purveyors of medical gowns, scrubs and uniforms in Bethlehem, PA and throughout the state, is helping medical facilities achieve their goals in providing patient comfort, infection prevention and other ways. In one recent study published in the American Journal of Infection Control, researchers found one interesting way to positively affect infection prevention.
Researchers, in an attempt to increase the quality of hand hygiene at a medical facility, found a new way to increase the number of medical professionals who washed their hands regularly. By placing messages encouraging staff to wash their hands in the screen savers of work computers, the study showed a marked increase in hand hygiene, which is shown to decrease the likelihood of site infection. The creative nature of the study, the out-of-the-box thinking the researchers employed and the results they gathered shows that innovative solutions don't have to be complicated or pricey, and can go a long way in enforcing infection prevention processes.
ImageFIRST Lancaster has found creative solutions and brought them to the medical industry: Innovative products or processes like their exclusive Triple BioShield Protection, the Instant Service App and their revamped Online Customer Portal; innovative services like Same Day Linen Rescue and in-facility linen management performed by customer advocates; and much more.
