title: Optimizing the service of contracted hospital laundries.
abstract: Linen processing is a significant but essential expense to hospitals. To minimize this expense, it may benefit may hospitals to consider processing laundry by either an outside commercial vendor or cooperative association. A comprehensive bid package is the cornerstone to such a relationship and will help ensure acceptable and cost-beneficial quality service to the hospital.
