In healthcare facilities, one often overlooked but crucial aspect is the proper change out, laundry, and maintenance of privacy curtains. Several challenges impede the regular laundering or replacement of privacy curtains in healthcare settings:
The story of AMY™ began when a dedicated team of designers, engineers, product managers, and marketers came together with a shared mission: to revolutionize the use of privacy curtains in healthcare settings. Through extensive observations and interviews with clinicians, environmental services personnel, infection prevention specialists, and other stakeholders, the team gained a profound understanding of the unique challenges faced in these environments.
One pivotal question emerged: “How do we create a privacy curtain that is easier and faster to change out for laundering?“
Amy Luttrell, a seasoned designer at Standard Textile, led the charge with a human-centered design approach aimed at drastically simplifying the curtain management and reuse process. The result was AMY™, the industry’s first all-fabric privacy curtain.
This innovative product transforms the work of Environmental Services (EVS) teams by significantly streamlining the install, change-out, and laundering process. As a result, EVS teams have more time to focus on maintaining safe and hygienic healthcare facilities, enhancing the healing and recovery environment for everyone.
The name AMY™ was chosen to reflect the personal connection between its designer and our customers. It honors Standard Textile’s dedication to innovation and to the customer needs that were the driving force behind creating this groundbreaking privacy curtain solution.
AMY™ offers a quiet, sleek, and easy-to-use solution, eliminating the common frustrations associated with traditional privacy curtains:
AMY™ Privacy Curtain was awarded Best of Sustainability at the 2024 Nightingale Awards, held at the Healthcare Design Conference + Expo in Indianapolis on October 7, 2024. Its sustainability focus extends beyond materials, offering a holistic solution that enhances efficiency, minimizes disruptions, and supports long-term well-being for both patients and healthcare staff.
In addition, AMY™ won Gold in the “Architectural Products: Non-Clinical” category as the industry’s first all-fabric privacy curtain.
