Founding and engagement program
We understand healthcare is a dynamic industry. And it’s for that very reason that we focus on turning insights into everyday innovations. As healthcare evolves, our dining services evolve with it.
Engagement
Our employees foster a comforting environment through everyday interactions with patients and residents.
Patient and resident satisfaction scores are one of the most critical assessments. Effective ways to improve care services will boost these scores.
Our experience assessment tools help us create a repeatable business model to facilitate enhancements in the Food and Nutrition Services department, which drives sustainable improvement in patient satisfaction scores.
Related to our role in the overall patient and resident experience, rounding is a powerful and relevant way to connect with each individual, while gathering larger-scale insights that uncover opportunities for improvement with our partners. Our robust, enterprise-level rounding tools to improve critical indicators and impact outcomes.
Clinical Nutrition Services
Our clinicians are guided by evidence-based policies and procedures.
We are dedicated to giving your patients and residents the best care. Every day, our clinicians rely on evidence-based policies and procedures to identify and prioritize patient needs. Our clinical nutrition programs come with a wealth of tools and resources to ensure excellent care.
To further support the growth of the profession we work collaboratively with educational institutions to facilitate internship placements in a variety of our Aramark operated facilities.
