A Study of the Linen Control System at the Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, Texas

Abstract

This study was designed to analyze and evaluate the linen control system at the Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, Texas. The research methodology included interviews, both structured and unstructured, observation of all elements of the laundry operation, and an extensive review of the literature. The study revealed an inefficient organizational structure in the laundry and linen service, absence of an annual linen inventory, outdated linen quotas, significant lapses in linen security, and absence of a linen committee. The major recommendations included the reorganization of the laundry and linen service, the establishment of linen quotas for each using unit, the performance of an annual linen inventory, and the establishment of a linen committee.
