Beta
Authorized professionals review and decide. MealSecretary never makes autonomous medical decisions.
What does healthcare foodservice management involve?
Hospitals must deliver the right meal to the right patient, respect diet orders and allergies, verify trays, record what was eaten and let dietitians review intake. They also feed staff, often with subsidies and payroll deductions.
The problem
Diet orders, trays and intake on separate paper trails
Diet changes reach the kitchen late, tray checks are manual, and nobody knows how much a patient actually ate until a nurse remembers to write it down.
- Diet changes missed by the kitchen
- Manual tray verification
- Unknown patient intake
- Staff meals managed separately
How it works
How will MealSecretary support patient foodservice?
Patient diet requirements will drive meal plans and kitchen production, trays will be verified before delivery, consumption will be recorded after the meal, and authorized professionals will review intake. Staff meals use the same Meal Programs, cards and payroll workflow available today.
