Wards & Inpatient01
Patient Diet Orders
Create physician-prescribed diet orders linked to a patient, admission reference and prescribing doctor with auto-generated DIET/ sequence reference.
Order lifecycle state machineMove each order through Draft, Active, Completed and Canceled states using Activate, Complete, Cancel and Reset-to-Draft workflow buttons.
Status bar navigationA visual statusbar shows draft, active and completed stages so ward staff see order progress at a glance.
Therapeutic diet assignmentAttach a therapeutic diet protocol (diabetic, renal, cardiac, etc.) to each order from the configured library.
Food texture selectionSpecify texture modification per patient as Regular, Minced & Moist, Puree or Liquid for dysphagia safety.
Fluid restriction limitRecord a daily fluid restriction in ml/day directly on the diet order.
02
Tray Tickets & Meal Service
Generate per-meal tray tickets tied to a diet order with auto TRAY/ sequence, serve date, meal period, menu and ward.
Automatic daily tray generation cronA scheduled job creates next-day tray tickets for all six meal periods for every active, non-NPO order in its date window.
Duplicate-safe tray creationThe cron checks for existing tickets per order, date and meal before creating so runs never duplicate trays.
Automatic menu matchingEach generated tray is auto-assigned an active menu matching its meal period.
Tray service state machineAdvance trays through Planned, Prepared, Dispatched, Served and Refused via dedicated workflow buttons.
Meal intake trackingRecord consumed intake as a 0-100 percentage per tray, validated by a constraint that rejects out-of-range values.
03
Cyclical Menu Engineering
Build menus for a 1-14 day rotating cycle across meal periods, enforced by a cycle-day range constraint.
Unique menu codesEach menu carries a unique code enforced at database level to prevent duplicates.
Menu line itemsAdd ordered, drag-handle-sequenced food items to each menu with portion size in grams.
Per-item macronutrient dataCapture kcal, protein, carbs, fat, fiber and sodium for every menu item.
Automatic menu nutrition totalsMenus auto-compute stored totals for calories, protein, carbs, fat, sodium and item count from their items.
Per-item allergen taggingTag each menu item with its contained allergens via many2many tags.
04
Therapeutic Diet Library
Maintain a library of clinical diet protocols each with a unique code and clinical indication.
22 clinical indicationsClassify diets across 22 indications: diabetic, renal, cardiac, low-sodium, dysphagia, halal, kosher, vegan, low-FODMAP, ketogenic, bariatric and more.
Daily nutrition targetsSet target calories, protein, carbs, sodium, potassium and daily fluid volume per protocol.
Restrictions and rationale textDocument forbidden foods, cross-contamination guidance and clinical rationale/evidence base per diet.
Therapeutic diet groupingSearch by name, code and indication and group the library by indication.
05
Allergen Management
Maintain a catalog of major EU/US allergens with unique codes, seeded with 14 major allergens.
Allergen severity hintsRate each allergen Low, Moderate, High or Risk of Anaphylaxis to drive color coding on orders.
Anaphylaxis risk filterQuick-filter the catalog to anaphylaxis-risk allergens and group by severity.
Multi-edit allergen listThe allergen list supports multi-edit and drag-handle sequencing for fast catalog maintenance.
Translatable allergen namesAllergen names are translatable for multilingual hospital deployments.
06
Nutrition Screening & Assessment
Record dated per-patient nutrition assessments with auto NUTR/ sequence and assigned dietitian.
Anthropometric captureRecord weight, height and mid-arm circumference for each assessment.
Automatic BMI calculationBMI is computed and stored automatically from weight and height.
MUST screening scoreCapture the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool score on each assessment.
NRS-2002 screening scoreCapture the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 score alongside MUST.
Automatic risk stratificationRisk level auto-derives as Low, Medium or High from the higher screening score and BMI thresholds (BMI<16 high, <18.5 medium).
07
Kitchen Operations
Log kitchen shifts by date and Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner type with an assigned head chef and auto SHIFT/ sequence.
Tray fulfillment metricFulfillment percentage is auto-computed from trays served versus trays planned per shift.
Complaints registerRecord a complaint count per shift for service-quality tracking.
Shift kanban boardA kanban grouped by shift type shows served/planned tray counts per shift.
Shift performance pivotPivot shift date against shift type measuring trays served and complaints to monitor kitchen performance.
Shift list totalsThe shift list sums planned trays, served trays and complaints across shifts.
08
Security & Roles
A Dietetics/User group for kitchen and dietetics staff to prepare trays, record intake and view menus.
Dietetics Manager roleA Dietetics/Manager group for clinical dietitians to configure menus, therapeutic diets and reports, implying the user role.
Manager-gated configuration menuThe Configuration menu (menus, therapeutic diets, allergens) is restricted to the Dietetics Manager group.
Model access control matrixPer-model create/read/write/unlink access rights are defined across user and manager groups via the access CSV.
Automatic admin provisioningA post-init hook grants the admin user both the dietetics user and manager groups on install.
Phase-4 ward menu gatingAll module menus are gated behind the base ward-dietary phase-4 group for staged rollout across the HMS suite.
