Program description:
5* Cuisine = 5* Healthcare
How healthcare service providers are spearheading the trend linking food to better health treatment and its impact on facility design
This program explores the evolving role of food service in healthcare facilities. There is evidence that food quality and service have a direct effect on recovery for patients, and a positive experience for staff and visitors; worthy of the investment. There is a range of goals from the design of 5 star kitchens befitting 5 star chefs, to food delivery, and to the benefit of community health programs. Can your hospital lobby accommodate an indoor farmers market, a grab n’go? Will new floor plans accommodate faster, less intrusive food delivery? Can we incorporate smart technology to deliver a patient's meal to locations other than their room? Healthcare administrators, planners, and architects have come up with groundbreaking designs to help achieve these. Our panel will bring their perspective and expertise to address this emerging trend with the end game of improved healthcare for all.
