A computerized dietary order entry system.
The Dietary Order Entry System is a computerized system which instantaneously communicates orders/messages from the patient care units to the floor diet offices. The system also produces up-to-date management reports such as diet lists and diet census at pre-determined times and on demand. Dietary and nursing personnel believe it is an extremely beneficial system in terms of both increased accuracy of data and time savings in transmission of information. We believe that improved patient care will result from this improved method of diet ordering.
