In order for nurses to provide topnotch care for their patients, the healthcare environment needs to be adequately sourced and be of high-quality. According to a report that was released by Press Ganey Holdings last year, titled "Nursing Special Report: The Influence of Nurse Work Environment on Patient, Payment and Nurse Outcomes in Acute Care Settings", some medical facilities had low scores for patient experience due to poor nurse work environments, despite the fact that their staff count was high.

When medical facilities have a special need or request regarding laundry services or products, ImageFIRST Tennessee, the provider of nurse's uniforms, garments and bed linens, strives to accommodate it. Just a few months ago, a new pink robe was added to the company's extraordinary Comfort Care line to spread breast cancer awareness and help improve patient satisfaction. But, the release of the new pink robe wasn't their idea – it was a suggestion from one of the many healthcare facilities that they serve. The new garment, known as the Comfort Care Pink Plush Robe-Style Gown, was created as a result of the company's effective communication channels between them and their customers.

Communication is essential in the medical field because it builds strong relationships between patients and their caregivers. The needs of patients can be met more effectively through open communication practices, especially when pertaining to the amenities and culture of the healthcare provider. As an added benefit, the perception of a healthcare facility is enhanced when the patient's needs are met and the treatment they received resulted in a positive experience. Relating to similar concepts, ImageFIRST, the laundry provider of uniforms and scrubs in Tennessee, operates with efficient communication channels throughout their services, which are based around providing their clients with outstanding customer service.
