What it is

Count the soiled linen out of a ward, send it to the laundry, and count it back — clean, condemned with a reason, or short. What is short is arithmetic over the counts rather than a figure anybody types, and the cycle cannot be closed while it is short unless somebody writes down where the pieces went. Par levels per room say what a ward should be holding and how much of that is in the wash right now. Staff uniforms: issued to a person (the uniform is one of the hospital’s own articles, with size and how many), sent to the wash and counted back — more cannot come back than went, and a short count needs where the pieces went and is written against the person’s issue as lost rather than quietly reordered — and taken back into the store when they are done with.

How it works

List what the hospital countsOn the Articles tab add each class of linen with a code and a name. An article already on the list is refused.
Count the soiled linen outOn Wash cycles pick the room, name the laundry, and count one article to start the cycle. The room picker lists the wards, theatres, ICUs, crash carts and other rooms this hospital has on its stock locations, a cycle with nothing counted is refused, and so is a room the hospital does not keep — “That room is not one this hospital keeps linen in.”
Send it, then count it backSend it marks the cycle at the laundry. When it returns, enter what came back clean and what is written off with its reason, and press Count it back. More cannot come back than went out, and a condemned piece needs a reason.
Close the cycleWhat is short is the arithmetic over the counts. A short cycle will not close until Where the missing pieces went is written down.
Keep the cupboards and the uniformsOn the Cupboards tab set a par level per article for each room, and read what the room should hold against how much of it is in the wash right now. On Uniforms issue each person theirs, send them to the wash and count them back; a short count is written against the person as lost, with where it went.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It does not accept more linen back than went out, and it will not close a short cycle without a written reason for the loss.

It does not follow an individual sheet: nothing in a hospital tags linen piece by piece, so it counts item classes per room and says so.

Questions clinics ask

What does LinenLoop do?

Linen counted out of the ward and counted back in — and staff uniforms issued, sent to the wash and counted back. Count the soiled linen out of a ward, send it to the laundry, and count it back — clean, condemned with a reason, or short. What is short is arithmetic over the counts rather than a figure anybody types, and the cycle cannot be closed while it is short unless somebody writes down where the pieces went. Par levels per room say what a ward should be holding and how much of that is in the wash right now. Staff uniforms: issued to a person (the uniform is one of the hospital’s own articles, with size and how many), sent to the wash and counted back — more cannot come back than went, and a short count needs where the pieces went and is written against the person’s issue as lost rather than quietly reordered — and taken back into the store when they are done with.

What data does LinenLoop read and write?

LinenLoop reads ward store rooms, the staff list and writes wash cycles, condemnations, uniform issues and washes. Its data class is No PHI. Every app works on the same patient record — nothing is copied into a silo.

What does LinenLoop deliberately not do?

It does not accept more linen back than went out, and it will not close a short cycle without a written reason for the loss. It does not follow an individual sheet: nothing in a hospital tags linen piece by piece, so it counts item classes per room and says so.

What happens to our data if we uninstall LinenLoop?

All clinical data stays in the record; operational history stays queryable.

Is LinenLoop available today?

Yes — LinenLoop is live in clinics today. Set up your practice on MedAppz and install it from your dashboard.
