TRSA Introduces New Web Portal with Linen Loss Reduction Resources

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA) has added a new resource to its website: a portal featuring tools to help healthcare organizations reduce linen loss. The costs of such loss add up to “an estimated $840 million annually” for the healthcare industry, according to the association.

The portal was debuted at TRSA’s annual Healthcare Conference in San Diego in late November.

“Linen loss is a critical issue for healthcare organizations trying to balance patient care with regulatory and financial priorities,” says Joseph Ricci, president and CEO of TRSA. “It’s a costly but correctable problem every healthcare organization faces. Our online resources are user-friendly, practical, and can help begin the process of getting these costs under control.”

Among resources at the new portal are industry best practices for better linen management, information on textile cleaning, and details about certifications for hygienically clean laundries, according to TRSA. A short animation video on the site delves into these topics and describes available tools.

TRSA says developing the web portal is part of its “strategy to provide members with actionable intelligence and resources to improve their customers’ bottom lines.”

One can visit the linen loss prevention portal at www.trsa.org/linenloss.
