The Center takes care to provide tasty and safe meals for hospitalized patients. Eating is an important part of medical treatment, and the Center provides meals that are in line with nutrition management plans. In addition to a selection of different types of breakfasts and celebratory postpartum meals, the Center also makes individual menu proposals for patients with low appetite, and tries to achieve highly satisfactory meals for hospitalized patients. The meals are safely provided according to the concept of HACCP, the established standards for food safety management.

All the hospitalized patients undergo nutritional screening regularly by medical doctors, nurses and managerial dieticians, and depending on the results, a tailored nutrition management plan is set up. For high risk patients, nutritional treatment is discussed regularly by the multidisciplinary team in the ward (medical doctors, nurses, pharmacist and managerial dietician). Managerial dietician provides nutritional care according to each patient’s disease condition and nutritional intake. In the individual nutritional guidance, managerial dietician carefully surveys the patient’s usual diet and provides a dietary plan for the specific disease and supports the optimal dietary environment sustainable even after the discharge.

The Center evaluates the ef fects of nutrition guidance and management according to the clinical outcome and original database of nutrition guidance and contributes to the future development of nutrition guidance and management based on scientific data.
