Detroit, MI -- (SBWire) -- 12/15/2015 --Patients' reported satisfaction in their overall medical experience is of increasing importance when it comes to finding ways to improve performance and reduce patient discomfort and, in November, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reflected this trend by approving the administration of a CAHPS survey directed specifically at Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery (OAS) facilities. Centers and surgery departments that fall into these categories will be required to administer the survey after 2017 – meaning an increased focus on enhanced patient experience is now happening across the nation. While many factors can influence a patient's experience during their care, there's one that's easy to change: comfort. With healthcare laundry services and uniquely cozy gowns from ImageFIRST Detroit's Comfort Care line, hospitals can make a major impact on overall patient perception of their facilities by switching to this innovative, unbelievably soft product.
