Background to the study<\/p>\n
The friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers is termed as hospitality.<\/p>\n
While hospitality means hospitable treatment, reception, or disposition, friendly, welcoming, and generous treatment offered to guests or strangers. <\/p>\n
Hospital is an institution for diagnosing, treating the sick or injured, housing them during treatment, examining patients, and managing childbirth. They may be public (government-owned) or private (profit-making or not-for-profit). They may also be general, accepting all types of medical or surgical cases, or special (e.g., children’s hospitals, mental hospitals), limiting service to a single type of patient or illness.\u00a0It is also said to be a\u00a0 HYPERLINK “http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Health_care” o “Health care” health care\u00a0institution providing\u00a0 HYPERLINK “http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Patient” o “Patient” patient\u00a0treatment by specialized staff and equipment. Usually HYPERLINK “http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Publicly_funded_healthcare” o “Publicly funded healthcare” funded by the public sector, health organizations ( HYPERLINK “http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/For-profit_hospital” o “For-profit hospital” for profit\u00a0or\u00a0 HYPERLINK “http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Non-profit_organization” o “Non-profit organization” nonprofit),\u00a0 HYPERLINK “http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Health_insurance” o “Health insurance” health insurance\u00a0companies, or\u00a0 HYPERLINK “http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Charitable_organization” o “Charitable organization” charities, including direct charitable donations. Hospitals were historically founded and funded by\u00a0 HYPERLINK “http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Religious_orders” o “Religious orders” religious orders\u00a0or charitable individuals and leaders. Today, they are largely staffed by professional\u00a0 HYPERLINK “http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Physician” o “Physician” physicians,\u00a0 HYPERLINK “http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Surgeon” o “Surgeon” surgeons, and\u00a0 HYPERLINK “http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nurse” o “Nurse” nurses, whereas in the past, this work was usually performed by the founding religious orders or by HYPERLINK “http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Volunteering” o “Volunteering” volunteers. <\/p>\n
Hospitality and food within hospitals will to some extent vary. As mentioned initially, private hospitals are in most instances profit making. Their setup will consist of quality services and apparatus mainly to attract more customers through the services offered. Therefore, the quality of foodstuff in private hospitals will be to a larger extent be good. This is also attributed to the number of patients being handled by the hospital at a particular time. The lesser the number, the higher the quality of services based on the rate of charges for diseases an individual is diagnosed for. On the other hand, public hospitals are in most cases government owned. The quality of services offered may be slightly lower but this is attributed to a larger extent by the customer base. Rates of bills in such hospitals are subsidized meaning most low income earners will frequent the hospitals. Due to many patients, the quality of food for them will also be low.<\/p>\n
Private hospitals will have quite a number of departments and key to that will be the catering department. In most cases, high qualified personnel will fill in positions under this department and they proceed to do a job they are trained in, qualified and experienced. On the other hand, public hospitals will have just a kitchen where the food for patients will be prepared from. Chances are high that qualified personnel may be understaffed meaning quality of food for patients is low. As the hospital again deals with so many clients, the few staff may not be in a position to prepare nice meals.<\/p>\n
Hospitals will therefore incorporate hospitality managers, persons with speciality in hospitality industry.<\/p>\n
