MEET alEx^®

Linen managers experience similar problems with linen as with scrubs. Linen is often removed from hospitals by patients, their family members, as well as from patient transfer personnel. The Emergency Department (ED) typically experiences the biggest loss of linen due to the EDs close proximity to the exit and it’s accessibility to so many non hospital employees. In a 2006 independent survey, it concluded nearly 25% of a hospital’s linen purchases were due to ED linen loss.

Like scrubEx^®, all ( IPA )’s alEx^® units eliminate unauthorized users from taking linen, which improves availability and satisfaction to the nursing staff. Also, with 75% of a hospital’s total linen expense related to use, alEx^® monitors how much linen each authorized user takes. This data is helpful to pinpoint individuals using excess linen. Many hospital administrators, when describing their linen loss and excess usage, detail the vicious circle illustrated below.
