Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/08/2016 -- ImageFIRST Tampa recognizes the importance of infection prevention and has taken numerous steps towards mitigating the problematic issue among healthcare facilities. The organization possesses over 50 years of expertise, and provides sanitary, comfortable linens and gowns to Tampa healthcare facilities and the entire United States. Many studies have documented subpar infection prevention, which proves a uniform protocol is critical among healthcare workers.
According to a 2014 study noted in the American Journal of Infection Control (AJIC), 37% of staff members studied used no hand hygiene at all, shedding light on one of the many problems occurring at inpatient and outpatient organizations. This appears to be an ongoing challenge that facilities still face across the entire medical industry. Another study from the AJIC experimented with altering screen saver design with hopes of improving hand hygiene behavior. There were two strategies to subconsciously influence this behavior. The first method was to gain attention, and the second was to exert peer pressure. The conclusion of the research was that screen savers designed according to scientific propositions for visual attention and peer pressure have the potential to alter hand hygiene behavior.
ImageFIRST Tampa constantly has their eye open to new research to be ahead of the curve in regards to medical innovations and creative solutions to healthcare problems. One example of this is the TripleBioShield Protection, which was designed and proven to kill up to 99.999% of pathogens. A second example is their 5-Point Quality System, which is a process that assures patients and associates the quality and cleanliness of their products.
The company's customer advocates do a lot more than just delivering linens. ImageFIRST Customer Advocates help manage inventory and become a reliable partner to all clients. Additionally, these associates will drive the products to the facility and help organize the shelves to save time for healthcare workers to spend on patients. Another creative solution ImageFIRST provides is their Same-Day Linen Rescue program which is geared towards helping medical offices on unexpectedly busy days.
