The bottom line is that this gown can save your facility money by significantly reducing laundry work-load with the elimination of double gowning and stabilizing inventory with decreased amounts of gowns destroyed due to neck strings being cut. The Privacy Preferred Hospital Gown® has the potential to actually increase your facility's Medicare reimbursement through increased patient satisfaction reflected in your facility's improved HCAHPS scores.
