San Antonio, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/29/2015 -- By far, one of the most important aspects of any patient's experience at a healthcare facility is how they are cared for by staff members. Nurses, in particular, are essential to providing patients with effective, compassionate care.
As the patient experience becomes a bigger driving factor in how patients choose healthcare providers, it is more important that facilities strategize on how to improve staff performance. According to information just shared by ImageFIRST San Antonio, a provider of nurse scrubs in San Antonio, TX, healthcare facilities should look to improve the nurse work environment to increase nursing performance.
As shared by ImageFIRST, Becker's Hospital Review recently summarized the findings of a Press Ganey Holdings report, showing that nurses' work environment has as much of an effect on their job performance as staffing does. Collecting statistical data from various sources, the "Nursing Special Report" found that HCAHPS scores increase with better work environments, regardless of staffing. The report also observed a correlation between poor nursing environments and worse performance even when high staffing was present, and found that "effective and efficient" environments enhance care quality perceptions on the part of both nurse and patient.
ImageFIRST service can help medical facilities create the kind of work environment conducive to top nursing performance and positive perceptions for both staff and patients. Service from ImageFIRST is geared towards facilitating healthcare providers' ability to provide consistently excellent and attentive care to their patients.
