Book Improving Patient Dining Satisfaction  Positively Changing the Perception of Hospital Foodu00a0

Download or read book Improving Patient Dining Satisfaction Positively Changing the Perception of Hospital Foodu00a0 written by Jill Smith and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PURPOSE: Implement a new food service dining model for long-stay patients in the acute care environment with a variety of quality nutritional and delicious choices that enhance the patient dining experience. SUMMARY CONTENT: This project provides the results of implementing a variety driven two week menu cycle, cook serve method with same day bedside meal selections. SYSTEMATIC APPROACH USED: The new food service model was implemented (n=100) with patients on rehabilitation units at an acute care facility in Burlington, ON. Pre and post tray waste audits and patient satisfaction surveys were conducted with patients to evaluate current baseline status of the patient dining experience to compare to the new model. Baseline model was a one week menu cycle, fresh steam-cooked food system with same day bedside meal selections. CONCLUSIONS: Eight indicators measured around patient satisfaction. Overall meal satisfaction increased by 16%. All days of menu cycle around patient tray waste was collected. Average daily tray waste decreased by 15%. The performance measurements reflect that the new food service model is successful in enhancing the patient dining experience as evident by increased patient satisfaction and meal consumption. RECOMMENDATIONS: Providing menu cycles longer than one week and providing patients with a variety of flavourful choices as close as possible to meal times should be best practice for improved meal consumption, decreased waste, and increased overall patient satisfaction. SIGNIFICANCE TO THE FIELD OF DIETETICS: Patient dining is complex with multiple allergy and diet orders. Taking a culinary approach that mirrors nutrition and flavor is key to create menus that are flavourful and meet diet restrictions. This project provides insight on how to apply these principles and implement a new food service model in healthcare that directly applies patient needs and experiences.

Book Evaluation of TQM Performance and Organizational Management Effectiveness for Foodservice and Clinical Nutrition Service Management in Hospital Settings

Download or read book Evaluation of TQM Performance and Organizational Management Effectiveness for Foodservice and Clinical Nutrition Service Management in Hospital Settings written by Yukyeong Chong and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An attempt was made to develop an evaluation instrument for perceived Total Quality Management (TQM) performance and examine the perceived TQM performance of clinical nutrition managers/dietitians, and foodservice managers/supervisors in selected teaching hospitals. The perceived TQM performance was further compared to the identified managerial traits and job satisfaction of these individuals as well as the job satisfaction of foodservice workers to assess the effectiveness of their organizational management. A survey instrument consisting of 41 statements for clinical nutrition managers and dietitians and 46 statements for foodservice managers and supervisors was developed to evaluate TQM performance. The Managerial Profile Inventory developed by McNary (1993) was used to measure Deming's quality managerial traits, and the JSS was utilized to examine how the respondents felt about their present job. Comparing the perceived TQM performance, although the clinical nutrition managers/dietitians group generally perceived higher performance than the foodservice managers/supervisors group, they showed a lower perceived level of performance regarding patient satisfaction evaluation. For the identified managerial traits, the cluster analysis showed that most of the respondents (76%) in this study were "not sure manager" and 17.33% were in the "Deming manager group". The individuals of both groups were generally most satisfied with supervision and least satisfied with promotion, while foodservice workers rated promotion the lowest and the nature of work the highest. Results of testing of hypotheses confirmed that the perceived TQM performance, the identified managerial traits, and the job satisfaction were partly correlated with one another in both groups. In particular, some variables of the managerial traits, the perceived TQM performance and job satisfaction of the foodservice managers/supervisors group were positively correlated to the foodservice workers' job satisfaction.

Book Food Quality Management

Download or read book Food Quality Management written by Pieternel A. Luning and published by Brill Wageningen Academic. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Also available as E-book see food-quality-management For more information about the e-book, please contact Sales. Consumer understanding of food quality is crucial as their concerns for healthy, safe and sustainable food production remain high. This forces actors and stakeholders in the agribusiness and food industry to use quality management as a strategic approach in production and innovation. This book describes Food Quality Management (FQM) in one integrated concept. Firstly, all relevant aspects of food quality management are combined into one FQM-function model, which shaped the structure of the book chapters. Secondly, the authors have embedded the techno-managerial approach in the book. This approach starts with the notion that food quality is the outcome of the combined effect of food behaviour and human behaviour. The core principle of this approach is the concurrent use of technological and managerial theories and models to analyse food systems behaviour and people's quality behaviour and generate adequate improvements to the system. Topics covered in the book include food quality properties and concepts, essentials of quality management and food technology, and details about food and human behaviour. Furthermore, this book describes in detail the technological and managerial principles and practices in the five FQM functions, quality design, quality control, quality improvement, quality assurance, and quality policy and strategy. Moreover, for each function a special topic relevant for the function is highlighted, namely consumer-oriented design, product versus resource control, quality gurus and improvement, quality assurance standards and guidelines (like GMP, HACCP, ISO2200, IFS and BRC), and Total Quality Management. This publication is a must-have for students, researchers and agribusiness and food industry professionals active in various areas of food production in the supply chain. The integrated approach with technological and managerial principles and concepts for analysing food quality management issues makes this a valuable reference book.
