With the pandemic continuing to impact our communities, it is important for medical facilities to examine and amend as needed their scrub, lab coat, isolation gown and other personal protective equipment (PPE) protocols and standards to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, increasing staff and patient safety.
As the American Dental Association® begins to develop guidelines for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), dentists nationwide are turning to sanitized apparel and linen –and we are here to help.
Faultless Healthcare Linen is monitoring the Covid-19 situation closely. In a time of uncertainty you can be confident that Faultless Healthcare Linen operates at the highest standards, assuring you and your patient community that your medical linens are clean and safe.
Healthcare linen is the most touched medical supply item before it gets to the patient or treatment room, while it is in the room and after it leaves the room. Its safety, quality, availability and cost affect everything from customer satisfaction to your license to operate. Look for these four performance standards to give you the peace of mind you should expect from your medical laundry program.
We are proud to announce that all three of our Missouri healthcare linen-only facilities recently received Gold Awards from the Missouri Water Environment Association (MWEA) for the fourth year in a row! The gold award recognizes organizations that adhere to strict environmental water regulations and safety guidelines.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently expanded requirements for infection prevention and control.
