Adams applauds NYC hospitals for feeding patients plant-based meals over meat by default in climate push
Eric Adams cheered NYC hospitals for serving patients plant-based meals, saying food production/consumption is the city's third-largest source of emissions.

Hahahahahaha. This is a recipe ... for disaster. When I say disaster, I mean low press ganey scores.
An emerging realization for very large hospitals and health systems is that food served, and ability to get at non-routine meal times, greatly impact patient satisfaction scores in the hospital. You start forcing everyone onto a vegetarian diet, people are going to complain. Scores will drop, and CMS will reimburse less.
However, though, they might decrease their overall hospitalization stays, as we know, the unofficial food sign, when patients start complaining about the food they are probably ready to go.
So congratulations rest of America, NYC hospitals might be willing to race to the bottom in satisfaction scores to skew the curve for your hospital to achieve those MIPS metrics and get those CMS bonuses.
