Our Approach
A HealthCareCAN Steering Committee was formed to guide identification of key issues and the
research approach. An environmental scan and literature review were completed to support this
Issue Brief. The Steering Committee helped to select the 14 key informants who were
interviewed by telephone using a standard interview guide between March and May 2017. These
informants included dietitians, food service managers, procurement specialists, food
manufacturers and distributors, health care food consultants, and the Chief of Staff of a major
urban hospital. Interviews with a key informant from the U.S., and one in the U.K, were also
completed to obtain an international perspective.
