Oct. 18—Here's one type of room service you won't have to tip for — after all, hospital gowns don't really have a good place to store a wallet.

Gone will be the days when patients have to fill out their menus a day in advance and then wait for the appointed time to have their meals delivered. Hospital leaders are working to create a system in which patients will be able to order a meal off of a restaurant-like menu and have it delivered within 30 minutes.
