Why an OPL to Service Transition Makes Good Cents/Sense
Running a healthcare On-Premise Laundry facility is expensive. The sense of full control and keeping things in-house is deceivingly attractive. It makes you think that if you have the equipment and the works under control, you’ll also have the costs under control. That could not be farther from the truth. Operating an OPL is chock-full of hidden costs that can derail your budget. That is why an OPL to service transition is your better, more cost-efficient choice.
The Cost Benefits of OPL Service Transition for Your Facility
What financial benefits do you stand to gain when you switch from OPL to a healthcare laundry service provider? Here are some of them:
Equipment
One of the most obvious reasons to switch to service is getting rid of the cost burdens of laundry equipment. Purchasing industrial laundry equipment is, foremost of all, expensive. The cost of their maintenance can also be expensive and at times, unpredictable. OPL to service transition lets you get rid of all that without jeopardizing the quality of your linens.
Employees
Another obvious cost-efficient benefit of OPL to service transition is your manpower. You would no longer need to spend on additional employees and managers to keep your laundry department running.
Utilities
One of the biggest cost drivers of running an OPL is utilities. They can be unpredictable and are downright expensive – no matter where you are in the country. Switching from OPL to a healthcare laundry service provider will also have you seeing savings on your utilities.
Non-Economic Benefits of OPL to Service Transition
Beyond the calculable benefits of outsourcing, switching to service from OPL also offers a number of non-financial benefits. Among them:
- Zero Management Burden. Linen inventory is made easy because everything is done for you. You no longer have to worry about having to manage the operations of an entirely separate department. Your management efforts can fully focus on patient care, not on counting dirty linens.
- Quality Control Made Easy. Quality control can make all the difference in your linen management operations. And outsourcing your medical laundry services makes that all the easier. The right service provider makes sure that all your items are accurate in volume, quality, and usability without any added burden to you and your team.
- Compliance Guaranteed. Keeping up with healthcare linen hygiene standards is essential, that much is true. But federal and state laws concerning your laundry are also complicated. They require constant attention and care which can add to your already full plate. Outsourcing with the right provider, with the right accreditations, cuts this process short.
