    PRWeb – Thu, Feb 16, 2012

    Course to be presented by Becky Dorner, RD, LD, widely-known expert on nutrition and long-term care issues, and foodservice cost control expert Kim Hofmann, RD, LD.

    Akron, OH (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

    Becky Dorner & Associates, Inc., nationally known experts in clinical nutrition, food service management and nutrition care for older adults, announces an interactive course, “Cut Your Food and Labor Costs Now! Save thousands without sacrificing quality.” This 5-class course webinar course on cost control, which will begin on Thursday, February 23, 2012, is designed for Registered Dietitians (RDs), Dietetic Technicians Registered (DTRs), Certified Dietary Managers (CDMs), Food Service/Dining/Culinary Directors, and others involved with managing a foodservice operation in a healthcare setting.

    Registration and details are available at http://www.beckydorner.com/products/230. RDs and DTRs who complete the course will receive 10 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) hours; CDMs can apply for subsequent CPE approval through the Certifying Board of Dietary Managers.

    “Many healthcare facilities have found that their foodservice costs have gotten out of control,” explains instructor Becky Dorner. “Because nutritional quality and support is such an important element of providing excellent care and services, they may believe that ever-rising costs are unavoidable. This course will show foodservice personnel that this is not the case.”

    Participants in the “Cut Your Food and Labor Costs Now!” webinar course will learn how to:


    •     Identify methods for achieving substantial savings in their foodservice operations – without sacrificing quality or patient/resident care

    •     Discuss how to develop a budget, and track where money going

    •     Find and control hidden costs – including theft, production or portion control issues

    •     Fine tune food purchasing to realize potential savings

    •     Determine if their department is properly staffed

    •     Learn the 10 essential steps to control labor cost

    •     Save money on supplies and equipment

    •     And much more

    Course materials will include extensive written materials and specific case study examples of how other facilities have implemented simple changes to save thousands of dollars per year. Participants will have access to the instructors for guidance and answers as they go through the cost reduction process. Those who are unavailable for live classes on any or all dates can view the recordings of the missed sessions at their convenience.
