Today, if you were asked “What are you doing to decrease operational costs?” what would your answer look like? Would your data and action items reflect effective efforts and time spent? Would those changes connect to patient satisfaction scores?

HandCraft offers professional healthcare linen management that provides more than materials. We strive to work alongside our partners, proactively helping them achieve their fiscal goals.

Here’s how we do it:

10 Strategies
We Use to Power
Our Linen Awareness
Program

HandCraft’s Linen Awareness Program provides effective practices for healthcare linen management. Here are 10 strategies HandCraft uses that ensure our clients receive consistently high-quality linens and service:

1. Service Team and Consultants

HandCraft has a dedicated team of specialists ready to answer any questions or help you with any issues that may arise. The customer relations specialists routinely visit all our facilities and are a great resource for any concern or service question. The clinical liaison manager is a registered nurse who helps clinical staff and administrators implement and evaluate strategies to be good linen stewards.

2. Written Staff Surveys

We want to hear from you. Our staff surveys are a great way to make your voice heard. They routinely let us know where to make improvements, and how to continue providing the best possible linen service.

3. Signage

We can post educational signs in your facility with updated, easily seen and readable signage. The more clearly employees understand linen procedures, the less likely issues such as linen loss will occur.

4. Educational Video

We’ve created a short video to use for annual staff training and new hire orientation. This video provides insight into various effective practices your employees should be implementing to reduce linen loss and improve service.

5. Linen Tip of the Month Emails with Huddle Discussion Prompts

We provide a monthly reminder email to keep linen at the front of every employee’s mind. They contain tips and huddle discussion prompts that help to reinforce proper linen handling
and protocol.

6. Involvement in Linen Committee Meetings

Whether you’re already having linen committee meetings or are looking to start doing so, we can provide meaningful strategies to ensure these meetings are engaging and useful.

7. Data Analysis and Benchmarking Data

HandCraft keeps a close eye on various data points regarding your linen usage, scrub allocation, and linen and scrub loss. We share these metrics and how they impact your budget.

8. HandCraft Plant Tours

It’s difficult to understand just how advanced the systems that provide you with high-quality linens are without first seeing our plant in action. Let us give you a personal
tour at one of our multiple plants.

9. Bacteriology Test Results

HandCraft’s bacteriology test results are completely transparent and are what earned us our Hygienically Clean Healthcare Certification from the TRSA. You can rest assured that your patients are safe from harmful bacteria after we launder your linens and apparel.

10. Informative and Impactful Presentations

HandCraft works closely with you to ensure that we are meeting your every goal. When you need more specific unit-based education, we’ll come to you and help find the way towards mutual success.
