San Juan, Puerto Rico -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/07/2016 -- ImageFIRST Puerto Rico is much more than a provider of medical uniforms and scrubs in Puerto Rico. The company makes it a high priority to help guarantee that their clients are informed of all of the latest changes and developments in the healthcare industry. In fact, ImageFIRST Puerto Rico would like to shed light on how the healthcare industry has experienced many changes and challenges over the past few years, and how enhancing the patient experience, infection prevention and safety, and cost management continue to be the focus for many healthcare facilities.
Today, there is no denying that social media has made it even easier for a patient to engage with healthcare organizations online, as well as leave feedback on the experience that he or she had at the facility. What's more, the Affordable Care Act, and especially CAHPS surveys, have paved the way for patients to record the experiences that they have had at a healthcare facility. Therefore, healthcare organizations are looking at ways to enhance the patient experience.
Reducing the amount of Healthcare Acquired Infections and patient safety have been, and will continue to be, key focus areas for healthcare facilities across the United States and Puerto Rico. The Joint Commission, an organization that certifies and accredits and healthcare organizations that meet certain performance standards, even recently appointed Ronald M. Wyatt, MD, MHA, to the newly created position of patient safety officer. Wyatt reflects the organization's commitment to promoting a safe and high-quality health care system with a goal of zero patient harm, and in this new position, he will work with the company's accredited organizations to continue encouraging the company's philosophy.
Aside from improving patient experience and infection prevention, another area that healthcare facilities continue to focus on is cost management. In particular, many healthcare facilities are looking for ways that they can streamline their services and improve patient care without having to spend more money.
ImageFIRST Puerto Rico is committed to helping their clients improve patient experiences, reduce infections, and acquire both reliable and affordable laundry services. Their Comfort Care Line of premium patient gowns, as well as their AssuranceFIRST and ValueFIRST initiatives, are what this leading provider of scrubs and uniforms in Puerto Rico offers to help keep healthcare facilities in business.
