This study aimed to investigate the current state of foodservice management and demands for improvement in long-term care hospitals. The survey was performed in experienced dietitians working at 25 hospitals. General characteristics, status of sanitary management (document management, self-assessment of importance and performance), necessity and ranking of sanitary management items were investigated. Approximately 2.5 dietitians worked in each hospital, but only 7 (28.0%) hospitals employed clinical dietitians. From the questionnaire, the scores of the importance in sanitary management and performance were 4.5 ¡¾ 0.7 and 4.3 ¡¾ 0.9, respectively, and were significantly different (p = 0.000). Participants also reported ¡°special therapeutic diets management¡± and ¡°compliance with standards of refrigerating time, food, method management¡± had the lowest importance and performance, respectively. The result of Importance-Performance Analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between importance and performance (R2 = 0.427). However, items such as ¡°performing hand hygiene¡± and ¡°compliance with standards of refrigerating time, food, method¡± and etc. had low importance recognition with low performance. All participants reported ¡°preparing sanitary management standards was necessary¡± is necessary and ¡°development of sanitary management manual¡± is the most important. These findings suggest that sanitary management is important in food service management of long-term care hospitals, and improving awareness is required. Developing a hospital foodservice hygiene manual would ensure better safety and quality for patient care and public health.
