This first-in-class application delivers a valid clinical dietary menu to patients who may then self-order meals directly from the bedside.
It partners the nutritional intelligence of Computrition’s Hospitality Suite and the communication technology of the Skylight Access Interactive Patient System to provide room service menus to patients that are clinically identified as ‘room service appropriate.’
Physician-ordered dietary restrictions and allergies are automatically monitored, and the system is updated in real-time, meaning that as soon as the physician removes a diet restriction, room service ordering becomes available to that patient.
The system also gives vital on-screen nutritional analysis for each menu item selected, providing meaningful health information to patients, including calorie, fat, sodium and carbohydrate counts.
Rather than stocking paper menus in patient rooms, and directing hundreds of daily calls to the diet office, Scottsdale Healthcare patients can now view meal choices on their in-room TV and use their remote control to place an order any time between 6am and 8pm, seven days a week.
