Choose your menu with
‘Cuisine on Call’
A menu full of fresh food choices greets patients at Skagit Valley Hospital. Patients, whose health allows, may order breakfast, lunch and dinner from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily. Orders may be phoned in to food service staff and preorders can be set up for the following day. Food service staff visit patients in the Family Birth Center and Orthopedic and Surgical Care, taking meal orders on hand-held computer tablets.
(Above) Food Services staff member Nadia Ostapchuk delivers lunch to Jessica Sedgwick in the Family Birth Center as part of Skagit Valley Hospital’s new ‘Cuisine on Call’ room service program.
Meal orders are entered into the computer, which cross-references the order with patient information to make sure the requests match up with any dietary restrictions or special needs.
Each meal is prepared to order, fresh and from scratch, and delivered by uniformed food service staff members when the patient wants it.
Just like in a restaurant, meal orders print out as they are received and an expediter puts together each unique tray, with the promise of delivering the food within 30 to 40 minutes.
“Cuisine on Call” allows patients to order what they want, rather than a standardized menu for all. This individualized approach can bring food costs down by as much as 30 percent
and sharply reduces waste. Skagit Valley Hospital contracted with Thomas Cuisine two years ago to provide food service in the Skagit Bistro in the hospital and for patients. Thomas Cuisine has successfully launched room service programs at many health care locations across the Northwest.
