It’s important to be aware of the various marketing techniques used in the healthcare market. One that I’ve run across recently is an improved version of a uniform rental program for scrubs.
APIC and AORN (Association of periOperative Registered Nurses) have had a low-level debate in recent years: Should hospital-supplied, professionally laundered scrubs be considered an essential part of the infection control program, or nothing more than a uniform? Some hospital systems have stopped supplying scrubs entirely, while others have refused to make changes.
