Manage linen costs by evaluating storage in your facility, and identifying opportunities for improvements.
The Program
Medline's Linen Utilization Program is a step-by-step approach that your facility can implement to help manage linen costs.
The program evaluates the current usage in your facility and identifies opportunity for improvement. The program then provides linen best practices that your staff can follow and provides a framework for monitoring going forward.
Medline provides the methodology, tools and information needed to manage the project, scale to your entire facility and optimize the outcomes.

The Challenge
Common practices can undermine efforts to reduce costs and energy usage. Three common inefficiencies that can cause costs to increase are:
Linen waste
Laundering clean linen
Hoarding
It may take significant effort to identify the root cause of these inefficiencies. Even after the causes are identified, implementing new policies are often met with hesitation because changing staff culture and breaking bad habits is so difficult.
Medline can help. In a few easy steps you can moderate the linen that is discarded or ragged out prematurely, lost or removed from the facility or laundered unnecessarily.
This program provides the tools to:
Pinpoint inefficiencies
Identify specific areas for improvement
Implement a process to benchmark, track and monitor your progress
