Quality controls
are essential at each step of a healthcare food
service operation, from the development of procurement
specifications through distribution and service
to the customer of the Division of Food Services.
Quality control includes those steps (criteria)
taken to ensure that behaviors meet or move toward
established performance standards.
The key to a quality food service assurance program
is continuous monitoring to determine if quality
standards are maintained in all aspects of the operation
to ensure that quality goods and services are produced.
