Computer use and educational needs in selected Canadian health care food services.
A survey was conducted to assess the computer use in 27 selected Canadian health care food service facilities and the educational needs in computerization of the corresponding foodservice administrators. The foodservices selected were represented by foodservice administrators at a workshop on computer-assisted foodservice managements held in June 1980. Only three facilities used a computer for foodservice functions: seven foodservices planned to use a computer within the next two years. A list of applications in use, being planned and of future interest showed the priority areas for these foodservices. The foodservice administrators identified their educational needs in computerization and demonstrated that a one to two day workshop was their preferred educational program format.
