Room Service in the Hospital

SVMC is embarking on a new food delivery system for patients in this hospital. Many hospitals are trying to improve care in multiple ways.  One of these ways to improve care is by improving the quality of the food that we serve to patients.

Room service 'on demand' is a new program that will be starting in January. This program will allow patients to decide when and what they want to eat.  Each patient will still get the appropriate diet for them.  They will be given a restaurant style menu and be allowed to order whatever they want from the menu.  The great thing about this system is the fact that patients will be able to order meals when they feel like eating.

Patients no longer will get meals at specific times.  They will be responsible for calling to get their own meals.  If patients can't call themselves, there will be other options for them to get their meals. 

This is such an exciting system.  Food quality is going to improve immensely.  Not only will food taste better because it will be cooked to order, but it will also arrive in a timely manner and be an appropriate temperature. 

I'm very excited about this new program.  There is tons of work that needs to be done before we are up and running, but we'll get there!  Look for more information about room service soon!
