Phase 2 of the Patient Choice Meal Service (PCMS) project encompasses a variety of changes to the provision of Food Services across Interior Health. As part of the project, a Regional Menu Working Group is being established to provide recommendations for the development of standard menus for acute and long-term care. This Working Group will meet bi-weekly for five to six months, and transition to monthly and eventually an ad-hoc basis for the duration of the PCMS project, which is expected to last approximately two years. Meetings will occur virtually via Microsoft Teams during regular working hours.
One of the aims of this new program and menu is to increase patient satsifaction with meals and the overall dining experience. As such, we feel it is important to include the patient experience in this work. The patient partner will work with members of the Food Services team and clinicians in the creation of the new menu and provide important context from the perspective those we are trying to better serve.
