Sodexo Patient Equipment Management Solutions (PEMS) celebrates 805 Injury Free day today

The Sodexo Patient Equipment Management Solutions (PEMS) team at Stanford Health Care and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital celebrates 805 injury free days today with a Pizza party.

The team has been supporting Sodexo Zero Harm safety culture. http://sodexoinsights.com/safety-zero-harm/ and Stanford Hospitality team safety mission -"To discover behaviors and/or environmental factors that lead to safety risks and mitigate them to protect our staff and provide a safe environment".

Before the team starts any task, they ask the following 3 checks for safety questions:
1) Do I know how to do the job?
2) Do I have the right tools and equipment to do the job?
3) Is my environment safe?

If the answer to any of the above questions are no, colleagues are advised to stop, seek assistance and correct the situation before they proceed.

The team also mentioned Teamwork is another contributing factor to a safe environment. When each team member plays an active role in safety, not only are we making the hospital a safer place for our patients, it also improves the quality of daily life for all colleagues. It is making the workplace a better environment for everyone.

According to Peter Stanislaw, Director of Express Services, " Providing hospital staff, patients and visitors a safe environment is paramount in PEMS. The culture was instilled during department orientation , and is encouraged in our daily huddles. Taking the time to prepare standard work and providing detailed training has also contributed to the department meeting the 800 safe-day milestone".

To the PEMS team- Thank you for your commitement to the Sodexo Zero harm safety culture!

At Your Request Room Service Dining® at Stanford Health Care and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital

If you ask someone what they think about "Hospital Food"? The general perception is usually negative followed by adjectives such as bland and boring to describe their experience. 

Ten years ago, patients might only receive a few choices a day and they have to eat at set times. At the Sodexo account at Stanford Health Care and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, we offer At Your Request – Room Service Dining® http://www.sodexo.com/home/services/on-site-services/health-care--seniors/empowering-patients-through-.html that delivers freshly prepared meals to the patient in under 45 minutes, from 6am-9pm each day. Patients can eat what they want, when they want, so long as it falls within their dietary restrictions.We also have a group of well trained Registered Dietitians and Nutrition Care Coordinators who can assist patients with their menu selections. Often times, our patients told us our service at Stanford Health Care reminds them of hotel room service without the shocking prices, plus it's good for your health! 

We also incorporate diversity in our monthly specials. Apart of our extensive menu choices, we offer an "Around the world cuisine" theme each month.  We had featured Italian, Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Lebanon, Korean, Spanish, Phillipines, Persian and Caribbean cuisine. 

Our Patient Services colleagues are trained to perform C-I-CARE (Connect, Introduce, Communicate, Ask, Respond and Exit) during our interaction. C-I-CARE is a framework for structuring best practice communications and developing relationship based care approaches with patients at Stanford Health Care.

Here is a video from our Patient Services team showing how they perform CICARE.
