[Satisfaction with the hospital menu and incorporation of drinkable goat milk yogurt as a dessert]. / Satisfacción con el menú hospitalario e incorporación del yogur líquido de cabra como postre.

INTRODUCTION: Introduction: an assessment of hospital menus should be regularly performed to suit the needs of patients. Drinkable goat milk yogurt could have nutritional advantages over the cow's milk variety. Objectives: to evaluate the satisfaction of patients with the hospital menu and with the inclusion therein of drinkable goat milk yogurt as a dessert as compared to a cow milk dessert. Material and methods: a satisfaction survey for the hospital menu and its included dessert (non-sweetened goat milk yogurt vs a sweetened cow's milk dessert (yogurt or rice pudding)) was conducted in patients admitted with baseline diets. Results: in all, 214 responses were analyzed: 43.9% of respondents were women. Mean age was 62.1 ± 15.8 years, and average patient stay was 14.1 ± 20.1 days. Acceptance of the hospital menu was rated as good in a high percentage of respondents (temperature, 90.9%; preparation, 75.6%; presentation, 88.9%; time schedule, 73.7%). Overall satisfaction with the lunch meal (1 to 10) was 7.5 ± 2.1 in patients who took the drinkable goat milk yogurt vs 7.4 ± 2.2 in those who took the cow's milk dessert (NS); satisfaction with the dessert was 6.1 ± 3.2 vs 7.9 ± 2.5 (p < 0.000), respectively. Conclusions: overall satisfaction with the hospital menu was high, and the acceptance of the liquid goat milk yogurt was lower than that observed for the cow's milk dessert. The absence of sweeteners in the former may have influenced the results obtained.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Introducción: la valoración de los menús hospitalarios debe realizarse periódicamente para adecuarlos a las necesidades de los pacientes. El yogur líquido de leche de cabra podría tener ventajas nutricionales en comparación con el de vaca. Objetivos: evaluar la satisfacción de los pacientes con el menú hospitalario y con la incorporación del yogur líquido de leche de cabra, suministrado como postre en el menú hospitalario, en comparación con un postre lácteo de vaca. Material y métodos: se realizó una encuesta de satisfacción con el menú hospitalario y con el postre (yogur de cabra no edulcorado frente a postre lácteo de vaca edulcorado (yogur o arroz con leche)) a pacientes ingresados con dietas basales. Resultados: se analizaron 214 encuestas. El 43,9% de los encuestados fueron mujeres. La edad media fue de 62,1 ± 15,8 años y la estancia media de los pacientes de 14,1 ± 20,1 días. La aceptación del menú hospitalario se valoró como buena por un alto porcentaje de los encuestados (temperatura, 90,9%; preparación, 75,6%; presentación, 88,9%; horario, 73,7%). La satisfacción global con el almuerzo (de 1 a 10) fue de 7,5 ± 2,1 en los pacientes que tomaron yogur líquido de leche de cabra frente a 7,4 ± 2,2 en los que tomaron el postre lácteo de vaca (NS); con el postre fue de 6,1 ± 3,2 frente a 7,9 ± 2,5 (p < 0,000), respectivamente. Conclusiones: la satisfacción global con el menú hospitalario fue alta y la aceptación del postre de yogur líquido de cabra fue menor que la observada con el postre lácteo de vaca. La ausencia de edulcorantes en el primero pudo influir en los resultados.

[Standardization of hospital feeding]. / Normalización en la Alimentación Hospitalaria.

INTRODUCTION: Normalization can be understood as the establishing measures against repetitive situations through the development, dissemination, and application of technical design documents called standards. In Andalusia there are 45 public hospitals with 14,606 beds, and in which 11,700 full pensions / day are served. The Working Group on Hospital Food Standardization of the Andalusian Society for Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics, started in 2010, working on the certification of suppliers, product specifications, and meals technical card. AIMS: - Develop a specific tool to help improving food safety through the certification of their suppliers. - Develop a standardized technical specifications of foodstuffs necessary for the development of menus established codes diets Andalusian hospitals document. - Develop a catalog of data sheets plates of hospital meals, to homogenize menus, respecting local and unifying criteria for qualitative and quantitative ingredients. METHODS: - Providing documentation and studying of several public hospitals in Andalusia: • Product specifications and certification of suppliers. • International standards certification and distribution companies. • Legislation. • Data sheets for the menu items. • Specifications of different product procurement procedures. - Development of the draft standard HOSPIFOOD®, and approval of the version "0.0". - Training course for auditors to this standard. - Development of a raw materials catalog as technical cards. - Meals Technical cards review and election of the ones which will be part of the document. RESULTS: After nearly three years of work, we have achieved the following products: - Standardized database of technical specifications for the production of food dietary codes for: fish, seafood, meat and meat products, meats and pates, ready meals, bread and pastries, preserves, milk and dairy products, oils, cereals, legumes , vegetables, fruits, fresh and frozen vegetables, condiments and spices. - Standardized database of technical cards for meals containing the following data: SAS Code, Province, Hospital, name plate, ingredients (g), edible ingredients (g) kcal, Proteins, HC, Fat and Fiber. - HOSPIFOOD® standard certification for food providers in hospitals, school cafeterias and other institutions of social restoration. CONCLUSION: Patients expect food that is offered during the stay in the hospital, meet basic standards of quality and safety, and therefore it is necessary to design and develop control systems from the award and / or acquisition of food (raw materials and finished) products which subsequently become part of the menu that is offered as part of their treatment. To avoid the effect of fraudulent practice in public health, it's needed to ensure the quality and safety of the food from the origin and establish the standards for acquisition and subsequent use of it.
