Decisions regarding health care practices and technology are never static. As new information becomes available, and internal and external forces shift, new decisions may have to be made. Such is the decision regarding reusable versus disposable linen. Until very recently, reusable linens were not comparable with disposable linen in the quality characteristics that directly impact patient and staff safety and health. Given the current test results on the latest generation of reusable fabrics, it is time to go back to reconsider this decision for the future.
关于医疗保健实践和技术的决策从来都不是一成不变的。随着新信息的出现，以及内部和外部力量的变化，可能需要做出新的决策。关于可重复使用与一次性亚麻布的决策就是如此。直到最近，在直接影响患者和工作人员安全与健康的质量特性方面，可重复使用的亚麻布都无法与一次性亚麻布相媲美。鉴于目前对最新一代可重复使用织物的测试结果，是时候回过头来重新考虑未来的这一决策了。
