Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/08/2016 -- ImageFIRST Phoenix, a provider of patient gowns and healthcare uniforms in Mesa, AZ and other areas, makes it one of their priorities to ensure that their clients are aware of all of the latest findings and developments in the healthcare industry. In fact, they would like to let both current and potential clients know that they recently came across an article that shared an insight into the present state of infection prevention procedures at outpatient facilities.
The study, "Using medical student observers of infection prevention, hand hygiene, and injection safety in outpatient settings: A cross sectional survey," was featured in the American Journal of Infection Control (AJIC). The study brought to light the fact that little is known about the overall infection prevention status in outpatient facilities. What's more, out of the 15 facilities observed during this study, 14 of them demonstrated that the proper hand washing procedures and infection prevention policies were not being followed. In all, the study reinforced that outpatient facilities need to focus on making improvements to their overall infection prevention efforts.
ImageFIRST Phoenix hopes that by viewing this study, owners and administrators of all healthcare facilities will take a better look at how their staff is doing what they can to prevent the spread of infections and diseases. Additionally, by partnering with ImageFIRST Phoenix, outpatient facilities can free up more time to better focus on improving their infection prevention efforts because the company can take on any laundry-related tasks. What's more, the company also offers their Triple BioShield Protection process that kills up to 99.999% of pathogens, and many other services that can free up staff to focus on patient care.
Individuals who would like to learn more about this provider of medical scrubs and uniforms in Tucson AZ, and many surrounding towns and cities, can call or email ImageFIRST Phoenix at any time.
