However, it is observed that for various reasons, the restoration of the hospitalized patients is often neglected in the privileges of the medical care. The establishment of a Liaison Committee of Food and Nutrition （LCFN） within a health establishment has shown according to several works, its positive impact in improving the hygienic quality and nutritional dishes served to patients. In this framework, we conducted a quasi-experimental study into CHU F hached Sousse of Tunisia type （before/after, creation LCFN） in order to assess the role of such structure （LCFN） in the qualification and the improvement of patients＇ food. Our study was based during the two phases （2007/2010） on the same methodology. Thus we have conducted an audit of observation of hygiene practices along the distribution chain of patient＇s meals and the samples for microbiological analyzes from food, surfaces, equipment and personnel＇s hands.The results obtained have shown, in one hand, a degradation of the average rate of contamination for the bacteriological analyzes, and in the other hand, an evolution of the rate of hygiene standards respected. According to this study, the role played by the LCFN is becoming more and clearer in the improvement of the hygienic quality of patients＇ dishes without forgetting the impact of improving the nutritional quality and Hedonics.展开更多
