Salem, NH -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/24/2016 -- ImageFIRST New Hampshire believes there are three areas of focus that need to be prioritized in order for the healthcare industry to thrive and succeed as a whole in the modern era. The leading supplier of medical scrubs and uniforms to the NH area, and elsewhere across New England, pledged to work toward improving and perfecting those focal points. According to ImageFIRST New Hampshire, the healthcare industry will continue to focus on enhancing the patient experience, prevent and safely control infections in facilities and improve cost management practices.
Between the industry's changing landscape due to Obamacare and the advent of the internet age's social media growth, the patient experience is being redefined to a more consumer-centric approach. Communication spreads rapidly, and news goes viral quickly. A patient who has a poor experience in a healthcare facility has the power to voice their negative opinion to widespread audiences, and may thus impact a provider's reputation. These two forces have helped facilities everywhere focus on the patient experience differently. That's why ImageFIRST New Hampshire only provides individually-wrapped patient gowns, quality products, and its very own exclusive Customer Care™ line, which will completely alter a patient's perspective of medical gowns.
Furthermore, citing the Joint Commission's recent creation of a patient safety officer position as an exemplar of the healthcare industry's priorities, ImageFIRST New Hampshire said that infection prevention and safety continues to be of the utmost importance in the modern facility. In order for healthcare providers to maintain their reputations and provide effective care, they cannot, and do not, ignore infection prevention and safety protocols. That's why ImageFIRST New Hampshire's AssuranceFIRST addresses infection prevention by providing facilities with completely sanitized laundry that exceeds standards and regulations, and products wrapped in plastic for transit.
Finally, cost management is another key priority in healthcare today, and managing costs go hand-in-hand with getting the best value for the price paid. As facilities continue to consolidate, streamlining services and providing effective cost management is increasingly important. ImageFIRST New Hampshire emphasizes cost management through their ValueFIRST initiative, which pledges to provide facilities with inventories based on their individual needs and help control inventory to ensure they have enough without overpaying for too much. It also promises to bill them transparently, making the breakdown of costs understandable.
ImageFIRST New Hampshire is dedicated to helping improve the healthcare industry by focusing on how they can continue to contribute to enhancing patient experiences, prevent infections and provide sensible cost management solutions.
