Delivering high-standard nutrition care for patients is essential in order to enhance their ability to recover, decrease lengths of stay in the hospital, and to prevent malnutrition and its possible health implications.
The CBORD Food Services software includes a meal ordering system which allows personal meal planning and ensures that each patient receives an appropriate meal, accordingly to their requirements, food preferences and appetite. Utilising the CBORD system aims to control portion sizes of meals, minimise food substitution, to reduce food waste and to improve communication between health
