Medical Scrubs Are An Important Requirement For Hospital Cleanliness

December 11th, 2010
Alice Lane asked:




Many professionals probably grow tired of wearing the same uniform day in and day out. In the medical field, medical scrubs are the clothing required by hospital administrators. Doctors, nurses and medical technicians are easily recognizable in their various colored scrub pants and tops. Over the years, manufacturers of scrubs have changed things up and different styles of scrubs can be purchased. Despite the modern variety of scrubs, when a person thinks medical scrubs they probably picture the typical green surgical scrub uniform. There is not much to the typical surgical scrub in the way of fashion, but this uniform serves the necessary purpose of helping to maintain clean environments in today’s hospitals.

For most people, the mental picture of a scrub type uniform derives from what is seen on TV. Television shows like M.A.S.H., Grey’s Anatomy, and Scrubs all help to shape how members of the public view hospital life and procedure. Although we enjoy being entertained by actors and actresses dressed in what looks like Katherine Heigl scrubs, it is unlikely that real hospital life mirrors the television shows that we love to watch.

Real hospital life is dirty, fluid ridden, and life threatening. In real hospitals, doctors must make quick decisions with the hope of saving lives. When making these decisions, doctors often are forced to move quickly from one surgery tool to the next and from one patient to the other. In the early years of medicine, such movement from one issue to the next helped to spread disease and infection from one patient to the next often making a trip to the hospital more dangerous than helpful. Today, the medical profession has learned from its mistakes. Advances in research, methodologies and technology have increased the professional knowledge regarding the spread of infection, as well as methods to prevent recontamination and infecting patients with illness they did not enter the hospital with. Medical scrub uniforms are an example of one medical advance that helps to decrease the spread of infection due to a lack of sanitation.

Prior to the creation of different types and styles of medical scrubs, such as Landau medical scrubs, doctors wore their street clothes when examining and operating on patients. A doctor wearing clothes stained with blood and other bodily fluids was believed to have a prosperous business. Some doctors began wearing butcher’s aprons to protect their street clothing. Soon, however, the stark contrast between the crisp, bleach white apron and the accumulation of blood and guts from surgical procedures became to disturbing for many people to look at. Eventually, the medical scrub was born and used by surgeons during surgery. Surgeon scrubs were the typical green color thought of when someone mentions scrubs. Now scrubs are worn by almost all hospital employees, as well as employees working in medical offices outside of hospital grounds. The creation of the medical scrub uniform has helped to decrease infection and maintain clean hospital environments.

Support this video on Myx by keying in MYX VOTE AT THE HOSPITAL and send to 2366! The Ambassadors, having every member of the band getting the creative batteries and writing muscles working in the process has only, yet again, made a great collection of 12 even greater tracks, this time, for their first full-length as a band with a completely new line-up, which they named LIFE GOES ON under Sonic Shape Records, exclusively distributed by MCA Music Inc. LIFE GOES ON is like a little slice of heaven on a spinning disc, which is almost reminiscent of the gig posters hanging on your bedroom wall, frazzled Chuck Taylors, and the crackle of the 7 stereo. A New Start, Rescue the World, At the Hospital, and This is the End are just a few of the tracks that will sure make you want to pump your fist, bob your head, or just crank up your car stereo really loud.

Hospital Pricing in a Changing Marketplace

December 10th, 2010
Mary Dillio asked:




38 states have already proposed or passed legislation requiring hospitals to publish their hospital pricing. So what does this mean for hospitals? It means that in order to stay on top of the market, they must either meet or exceed expectations with their hospital pricing. Why? Because consumers will use pricing information when choosing services.

Marketing is all about the 4 P’s. Product, Price, Promotion and Place. In the past, hospital pricing has been left to only certain individuals in the process, while product, place and promotion are the only factors that have been controlled. With the media questioning hospitals and health care every day, consumers have become more enlightened when it comes to their health care. They demand answers, and when you are in the business of consumer driven healthcare, you must provide answers.

Price is such an important part of the marketing mix, and it can no longer be ignored. If you are in the position to make real decisions about hospital pricing, you need to invest some time in researching hospital price comparisons and hospital prices in your area.

Hospital pricing specialists can provide you with up to date and accurate data that will enable you to make decisions based on your competitions pricing and services. By becoming a pricing leader in your area, you are essentially becoming the hospital benchmark for all other hospitals. If your hospital has become the benchmark for all others, then it is important for you to stay on top of your pricing and services so that you do not become overshadowed by others.

Hospital pricing specialists will provide you with definitive information that will allow you to make sound decisions regarding your hospital pricing. They will give you inpatient and outpatient data, as well as financial data including over 400 different factors. Once you have become more informed about not only your own hospital pricing, but of those in your area, you are then in a position to make a decision that makes the most sense.

With constant and changing legislation regarding hospitals and their practices, you have to be honest and upfront with consumers about your pricing. Hospitals that are not afraid to discuss their pricing and strategies will gain the trust of the wavering consumer. The media and consumers will continue to ask the questions, so why not have an open dialog about your hospital prices?
