A digital application offers patients at a medical facility the ability to order meals directly from their bedside. This facilitates dietary management during hospital stays and streamlines food service operations. It improves the patient experience by empowering individuals to select meals that align with their preferences and dietary requirements, within the confines of their prescribed medical diet.
Such systems provide numerous advantages, including enhanced patient satisfaction, reduced food waste, and increased efficiency for hospital staff. Historically, meal ordering involved paper menus and phone calls, which could be time-consuming and prone to errors. Digital applications offer a more convenient and accurate method for patients to request meals and for the dietary department to manage orders.
