Automate your Linen Quality Program
Track and manage the quality of your linen.
Stop sending stained and torn linen to your end users.
Have you ever had a stained sheet rejected just as it was going onto the bed, or worse, no one noticed until it was too late? How often has a towel been thrown into the trash by nursing but your inventory was not updated? What about a set of scrubs that were rejected, only to be processed and returned without solving the problem?
Whether you clean your laundry in-house, or contract to an outside vendor, when unusable linen gets to your end user your entire service suffers.
Walsh’s Linen Quality Tracker is a system that allows you to prevent unusable linen from getting to your end user while tracking causes, inventory, costs, and efficiency.
How it works
-
We install special hampers in nursing units, locker rooms, or any other place that linen is used.
-
Inservice all staff to segregate unusable items into these bins.
-
Those bags make their way to your linen handling area where it is sorted.
-
All info is recorded by your staff on an iPad.
-
These items are sent for disposal/recycling, wash/stain wash, or repairs.
-
Instantly you will see
- Information is then displayed by issue, source, disposition, cost, item, and more
- trends in staining or other issues allowing you to adjust processes appropriately
- live changes in inventory levels, allowing you to re-stock before a crisis
- Accurate costs allowing better budgeting
Save money
- Avoid reprocessing and re-distributing trash items
- Don’t pay your vendor for unusable linen
- Back-bill external laundry suppliers for unusable inventory
- Remove unusable linen from the wash delivery cycle
- No longer purchase items that wear out quickly
Your patients and staff will receive better quality linen Using Walsh Linen Quality Tracker tells you where every item goes, and why.
