As seen from the above graph (Figure 11), the most important attribute for the patients are “Taste of the Meal Served”, “Temperature of Food” and “Variety of Food Provided in menu.” Thus, it is important for us to look deeper into these attributes and see the satisfaction of the patients and how it can be improved. The less important attribute for the patients is “Presentation of the Meals Served.” Thus, lesser focus should be put into maintaining or improving this attribute for the meals.<br/>

As seen from the above graphs, taste of meal is an extremely important attribute for all wards, patient types and diet types.

As for the diet types, patients with special diet types are more dissatisfied with the taste of the meal. This may be due to the dietary restrictions of the patients.

On analysing the reasons, it is seen that the reason for dissatisfaction for taste is mostly because either the food is bland and tasteless or it is too oily. Thus, NUH should look into improving the taste by using these suggestions.

Overall Analysis

For the analysis, we first see the survey feedback for the month of November as it is the more recent survey conducted and will provide the most accurate results for the analysis. At first, we see the overall view of the importance and satisfaction values for all attributes.

DataStats-Analysis1.png


As seen from the above graph, the most important attribute for the patients are “Taste of the Meal Served”, “Temperature of Food” and “Variety of Food Provided in menu.” Thus, it is important for us to look deeper into these attributes and see the satisfaction of the patients and how it can be improved. The less important attribute for the patients is “Presentation of the Meals Served.” Thus, lesser focus should be put into maintaining or improving this attribute for the meals.

The above figure clearly shows that, patients are least satisfied with the taste and variety of the meals. Since, these two attributes are extremely important for the patients, the hospital should focus more on improving these attributes. Moreover, it can be seen that the patients are extremely satisfied with the presentation of the meals. The satisfaction level of this attribute is higher than the importance level. Thus, NUH is wasting more resources in this attribute than is required. They can try and save up resources from presentation of meals and put in improving the taste and variety of meals served.

Drill down to attribute “Taste of the meals served”


After the overall view, we analyze each attribute by wards, type of patients and type of diets. This will give a more accurate view of where the improvements can be made.

As seen from the above graphs, taste of meal is an extremely important attribute for all wards, patient types and diet types. The service gap between the satisfaction and importance is a lot for the patients in Ward B1 and C. This means, NUH should look at improving the taste of the meals for the patients in these 2 wards the most as they are most dissatisfied.

As for the diet types, patients with special diet types are more dissatisfied with the taste of the meal. This may be due to the dietary restrictions of the patients. Thus, NUH needs to try and improve the taste of special diets keeping in mind the dietary requirements. They need to be more innovative with the restrictions of the diets.

On analysing the reasons, it is seen that the reason for dissatisfaction for taste is mostly because either the food is bland and tasteless or it is too oily. Thus, NUH should look into improving the taste by using these suggestions.
