Why a Managed Lab Coat Program Makes Sense

Professionalism isn’t merely expected—it’s essential. From the care you provide to the appearance of your staff, every detail plays a role in building patient trust and enhancing your facility’s reputation.
June 10, 2025

In healthcare, every detail reflects your standards. From clinical care to how your team presents themselves, everything shapes the patient experience. That’s why more facilities are turning to fully managed lab coat programs—because there’s no second chance at a first impression.

The Problem with Traditional Lab Coat Management

Does this sound familiar?

  • Staff are always searching for the correct size
  • Daily frustrations regarding missing or stained lab coats
  • Wasted hours managing coat inventory
  • Unnecessary costs from replacing lost or damaged items

If any of those hits home, it’s time to think about a better solution.

A Fresh Start—Literally

No clinician wants to start their day by discovering a missing button or a stained coat. With a managed lab coat program, you can ensure your doctors and staff always begin their shifts in crisp, clean, and comfortable garments—delivered like clockwork.

Select from premium options:

  • Traditional white lab coats
  • Cuffed lab coats for added coverage
  • Fluid-resistant lab coats
  • Staff-specific coats with multiple pockets

Sourced from trusted manufacturers and rigorously tested for durability—ensuring they last longer and maintain their great appearance with every delivery.

Branding That Speaks for You

Your brand is your identity. A professional appearance reinforces your commitment to excellence and builds trust with patients. Adding embroidery to lab coats with your practice’s logo or physician names creates a polished, personalized image that resonates.

Peace of Mind with RFID Tracking

“Where’s my lab coat?” With ImageFIRST’s RFID-enabled tracking, you’ll never have to ask again.

  • Every lab coat has a discreet UHF RFID chip attached
  • Upon pickup, items are scanned, and an automatic email confirms what was retrieved
  • Before your next delivery, you’ll receive an update on what is being returned

This means no more guesswork and no more misplaced inventory—only complete visibility and confidence.

Ready to Make the Switch?

Leave the stress of managing lab coats behind. Elevate your facility with a professional, fully managed program that prioritizes cleanliness, consistency, and brand impact.
