Free mealtime reduces waste in hospital

Recently, UC San Francisco Medical Center conducted an interesting attempt. It let inpatients choose the mealtime according to each favorite. As a result, food waste was dramatically reduced, as well as improving patients' satisfaction.

Hospital Wastes A Third Less Food After This One Change

Hospital is one of the places where the most amount of wastes are produced. It is mainly for sanitary, being deemed as necessary. But, mealtime is relatively amendable without the risk of infection.

Free for selecting mealtime has been ignored in many hospitals. I appreciate the challenge of San Francisco Medical Center.
