    New dietetic performance indicators were developed to better assess dietetics departments. This tool aids in monitoring, planning, and budgeting for improved departmental efficiency and services.

    Area of Science:

    • Dietetics
    • Healthcare Management
    • Performance Measurement

    Background:

    • Current dietetic performance indicators lack accuracy in reflecting departmental performance.
    • Directors of dietetics require effective tools for monitoring, planning, and budgeting.
    • Previous work by dietetics directors in Metropolitan Toronto initiated the need for improved indicators.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop effective dietetic performance indicators for monitoring and planning.
    • To create a tool for directors of dietetics to enhance departmental management.
    • To address the need for more accurate reflection of dietetics department performance.

    Main Methods:

    • Established the joint Ontario Dietetic Association-Ontario Hospital Association (ODA-OHA) Steering Committee on Alternative Dietetic Performance Indicators (SCADPI).

  • Identified performance indicators across patient meal service, non-patient meal service, and clinical nutrition service.
  • Developed and tested a methodology for allocating food, sundry, and labor costs to these service areas.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully identified relevant dietetic performance indicators.
    • Developed a cost allocation methodology for departmental activities.
    • Validated and tested the feasibility of the methodology in various hospital settings.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed tool effectively aids directors in monitoring and planning departmental activities.
    • The methodology provides a more accurate reflection of dietetics department performance.
    • The indicators and methodology are valid and feasible across different hospital sizes and management levels.
