Disappearing healthcare facility linens could lead to shortages of necessary textiles — and it certainly results in higher costs for facilities and laundries, according to an article on the American Laundry News website.
Tips for avoiding linen loss at healthcare facilities include:
• Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags that can be placed in linens
• A logo can be a deterrent for textiles to “leave” a healthcare facility
• Linen-dispensing machines can limit the amount of linen that one employee can pull from the dispensing unit at once
