Long-Term Care Outreach Materials

Systems Integration Partnering With Hospitals On Textile Use

Laundry operators provide data, coupled with proactive outreach, to improve textile management

The abundance of data now available to laundry operators due to advances in technology is enhancing opportunities for collaboration between laundry service people and hospital staffs, according to several operators contacted for this article. This process, dubbed “systems integration,” features the sharing of textile-tracking information and other data between laundries and healthcare institutions with a focus on controlling costs and improving the patient experience.

“It’s communication…both with data and face to face,” said David Potack, president of Unitex, Elmsford, NY, when asked for his view of systems integration as a means of facilitating linen management. “We feel very strongly that our clients deserve a lot of visibility with us and that’s where the value and the trust of the rapport gets built up. It’s not just emailing data back and forth, but really understanding how our clients work, what their strengths are, what their opportunities are and how we can help them. So we spend a lot of time in the field.”
