More info: Facebook It’s important to understand that hospitals often operate on strict budgets and are already scrambling to cope with emergencies. In the midst of all that chaos, it may be tough for them to keep up the highest food and nutritional standards for their patients. That’s why the ‘Rate My Hospital Plate’ group doesn’t exist to shame medical institutions, it’s more of a fun initiative where patients can find support and connect with one another. People even write kind words in the comments to help improve the morale of posters who are sick. Doctors and nurses can also encourage patients to bring home-cooked meals if their circumstances allow it. Medical institutions should try to provide more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Even if they can’t meet all of these criteria, a few small changes can drastically help patient health and recovery during their stay. This kind of initiative shows that the people in charge of medical institutions have the power to make changes that can benefit their patients and staff. They just need to develop innovative ways of making that a reality.
