We wanted to go for Gold. We wanted the Perfect
10. So, we called DM&A. After implementing the Destination 10
Process, we increased our patient satisfaction to 98%, reduced
operating costs by $120,000 the first year, and created a first
class foodservice program. We went from Good to Best thanks to
DM&A.

"A true blessing! Customer
satisfaction scores are way up. Cafe sales are up. Department
morale is up. I can't imagine being without the coaches and the
Good to Best process. It is more effective than we had ever dreamed
possible. And it pays for itself."

"Holy cow! The most powerful process
I have ever seen or heard of in my entire career. Without it I
could not have moved forward. It's great to have a team of coaches
and mentors. We saved $80,000 a year. I highly recommend them to
everyone. It pays for itself."

The Good to Best Destination 10 Quality
Improvement process has greatly assisted the Huron Perth
Healthcare Alliance, Nutrition & Food Services Departments. They
have encouraged and fostered transformation in the department.
Destination 10s systematic, step-by-step process has inspired
each of my team members to become the best that we can be, with
the resources that we have. Customer service is now the focus
and our culture is now more motivated to embrace it. Destination
10s coaches have paved the way and inspired us to rethink how
we deliver our part of the patient care experience. Our patient
trays have never looked better. Our cafeteria food and serving
area has been improved 100%. I cannot think of any downside to
Destination 10. Every hospital food service that wants to be a
winner should adopt the Good to Best - D/10 process as soon as
possible.

"A one-of-a-kind process. I've been

The University of Colorado Hospital Food &
Nutrition department brought in Don Miller & Associates to work
with us in implementing our Room Service Program. They met with
our leadership group to assess our strengths and weaknesses,
reviewed the kitchen set up and did some customer service
training with the entire staff. Next they reviewed our room
service menu and made some significant improvements both in the
design and options we were offering.
On a return visit they worked with our call center, the
dietitians and our culinary staff and made recommendations for
improvements in scripting, dietitian coverage and worked to
improve food production and presentation. They worked with the
retail staff to spruce up the decorations in the cafeterias and
offered suggestions for plate presentation.
They assisted us in updating our policies and procedures and
task analysis. They brought a high level of excitement that
permeated our staff and they all looked forward to working with
the consultants. We felt very fortunate to work with such a
talented group of people and feel our entire department
benefited from their knowledge, expertise and experience. In my
experience in the hospitality business this was a very unique,
enthusiastic and well organized group of people. Their expertise
in assessing this facility was well beyond my expectation.

"I've been in the business 35 years. I've never
seen or heard of a process like Good to Best - D/10. I've been using it
for 2 years now. Any FSD's wanting to take their department from Good
to Best should take a look at it ASAP. The process pays for itself. Diane Heilman,

"I've been in the business 30 years. I wish I had
the Good to Best playbook and success coaches 30 years ago. Everyone
needs it. There's nothing else like it. They are coaches not
consultants. We really appreciate that. Im sooooo glad I have them."

"Don Miller & Associates helped us out of a
serious bind. We were stuck in the mud. Now we are on the road
from Good to Best. Administration now considers our department
the hospital model for change. The Destination 10 process really
works. I will use it for the rest of my career."

"I will always be indebted to Don Miller &
Associates for helping our department get on the road from Good
to Best. With their guidance and Destination 10 process, our
entire team culture has gone from not so happy to very happy.
Sales are skyrocketing, customer satisfaction is soaring. In
short we have been transformed. They are not just consultants,
they are coaches and mentors."

DM&A literally kept me from
losing my job after 25 years. My food service is in the process
of being revolutionized. No one could have helped myself and my
