Do Certain Color Scrubs Mean Certain Things?

Have you ever wondered why there are so many different scrub colors? How do hospital employees choose which color scrubs to wear? Or do hospitals require certain colors? When it comes to uniform scrubs, certain hospitals color code their employees. Others allow their employees to choose whatever colors or eccentric patterns they want to wear.

“When you’re spending 12-hour shifts in a set of medical scrubs, it’s important to look your best. [Your supplier should act as] a scrub fashion advocate to help you find the perfect style and fit for your body type,” according to experts at the Medical Scrubs Collection, an online retailer of fashion scrubs.

Why Color Code?

Color coding helps people tell the difference between different hospital departments. This is really helpful in large facilities. Doctors, technicians and nurses can easily identify one another. It’s convenient for visitors and patients as well. Consult with a reliable online retailer to find Medical Uniforms that match your style or to obtain the color assigned to your position.

If you would like to base your color search on science, there’s a whole psychology behind what colors to choose. For example, green is associated with tranquility, healing and peace, which is why it’s a popular color for hospital walls and doctors’ offices. Green has been scientifically shown to lower a person’s blood pressure and gives the eyes a rest.

In hospitals that don’t have a coordinated dress code, professionals often choose patterns they like and, eventually, patients can identify them from afar by getting to know their individual flair.

Patient surveys have shown that not only do patients express a higher satisfaction with color-coded uniforms, they outright prefer it. Patients want to know who’s in charge of their care,” according to the Catalina Island Medical Center.

Colors Should Follow Common Sense Rules

Medical centers and surgery wards are typically awash in a sea of green or blue scrubs. Nurses and caregivers in the delivery ward may be told to wear pink. Whatever system is put in place is typically beneficial to all parties involved. Of course, not all hospitals have this requirement, and some staff will certainly not love the colors or styles assigned to them. However, in general, it’s a system that’s easy to put in motion.
