Excellent
looking Hospital Patient Tray (a 10)
|
- Everything is divided up so that the tray looks
organized, balanced, attractive and inviting.
- All the side dishes are very small. This is
good. There's no room for 6" bread and butter plates on
this small tray.
- The condiments are all placed in a clear
container. Now the customer can find them.
- The dessert is simple and garnished.
- The fresh fruit has a green leaf liner.
It's showbiz.
- The coffee mug is in the perfect location.
- The roll has a doily under it. Good, but if
you can find a 4", or very small bread and butter plate, it would
look even better. But the plate has to be small.
Minimize or delete pies on small trays because they require a bread
and butter plate which normally takes a lot of tray space.
- The soup is in the correct location. You'll
be surprised to know that this is a 4 oz. insulated bowl as opposed to
the larger version. Do we get away with the smaller
portion? Yes! It isn't even noticed in average
hospitals who serve primarily seniors. Seniors don't want a lot
of food. In fact, they complain that we give them too much food.
- The flatware is on the right. Good!
- Bottom line - this tray scores a 10 on a scale of
1 to 10. Way to go Donna Young, R.D. and team at Mercy Medical
Center, Sioux City Iowa.
- If you're thinking that you could never do this
at your facility, think again. It's being done all over the
country - just look at the testimonials on this website. How do
we do it? With a concept called Destination 10. Come to
the ASHFSA preconference to learn exactly how to use this new
Continuous Quality Improvement Program.
