Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, mechanisms (which can, for example, include systems, methods, and media) for automated dietary management in healthcare facilities are provided.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, over a communication network from a first computing device that is associated with a registered dietitian, a request for identifying information associated with each patient of a plurality of patients at a facility that require development of a medical nutrition therapy diet;
- in response to receiving the request for identifying information associated with each patient that requires development of the medical nutrition therapy diet, retrieving, over the communication network from a second computing device, nutrition data associated with each patient comprising a previous medical nutrition therapy diet associated with each patient and data indicative of a dietary restriction associated with each patient;
- causing the first computing device to present, via a user interface, the previous medical nutrition therapy diet associated with each patient and the data indicative of the dietary restriction associated with each patient;
- causing the first computing device to prompt, via the user interface, the registered dietitian to review both the previous medical nutrition therapy diet and the data indicative of the dietary restriction associated with each patient;
- receiving, from the first computing device based on input provided via the user interface, updated dietary restriction information comprising instructions to assign each patient to a respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet;
- retrieving a food menu associated with the facility, the food menu comprising a food item and a recipe associated with the food item;
- determining that the respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet assigned to at least one patient is not appropriate based on the recipe associated with the food item;
- applying the food item and the respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet assigned to the at least one patient as input to a model to identify an alternative recipe that is appropriate for the respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet assigned to the patient based on an output of the model;
- adding the alternative recipe for the food item to the food menu for the facility;
- causing the food menu to be transmitted to a food service system such that the food item can be prepared for the at least one patient at the facility in accordance with the alternative recipe for the food item;
- receiving outcome data comprising measurable physiological data that is indicative of the at least one patient's response to the respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet assigned to the at least one patient;
- generating training data for the model using the outcome data;
- and
- providing the training data to a third computing device associated with the model such that the model can be updated using the training data.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:
- receive, over a communication network from a first computing device that is associated with a registered dietitian, a request for identifying information associated with each patient of a plurality of patients at a facility that require development of a medical nutrition therapy diet;
- in response to receiving the request for identifying information associated with each patient that requires development of the medical nutrition therapy diet, retrieve, over the communication network from a second computing device, nutrition data associated with each patient comprising a previous medical nutrition therapy diet associated with each patient and data indicative of a dietary restriction associated with each patient;
- cause the first computing device to present, via a user interface, the previous medical nutrition therapy diet associated with each patient and the data indicative of the dietary restriction associated with each patient;
- cause the first computing device to prompt, via the user interface, the registered dietitian to review both the previous medical nutrition therapy diet and the data indicative of the dietary restriction associated with each patient;
- receive, from the first computing device based on input provided via the user interface, updated dietary restriction information comprising instructions to assign each patient to a respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet;
- retrieve a food menu associated with the facility, the food menu comprising a food item and a recipe associated with the food item;
- determine that the respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet assigned to at least one patient is not appropriate for the food item based on the recipe associated with the food item;
- apply the food item and the respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet assigned to the at least one patient as input to a model to identify an alternative recipe that is appropriate for the respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet assigned to the patient based on an output of the model;
- add the alternative recipe for the food item to the food menu for the facility;
- cause the food menu to be transmitted to a food service system such that the food item can be prepared for the at least one patient at the facility in accordance with the alternative recipe for the food item;
- receive outcome data comprising measurable physiological data that is indicative of the at least one patient's response to the respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet assigned to the at least one patient;
- generate training data for the model using the outcome data;
- and
- provide the training data to a third computing device associated with the model such that the model can be updated using the training data.

A system, comprising:
- at least one hardware processor that is programmed to:
- receive over a communication network from a first computing device that is associated with a registered dietitian, a request for identifying information associated with each patient of a plurality of patients at a facility that require development of a medical nutrition therapy diet;
- in response to receiving the request for identifying information associated with each patient that requires development of the medical nutrition therapy diet, retrieve, over the communication network from a second computing device, nutrition data associated with each patient comprising a previous medical nutrition therapy diet associated with each patient and data indicative of a dietary restriction associated with each patient;
- cause the first computing device to present, via a user interface, the previous medical nutrition therapy diet associated with each patient and the data indicative of the dietary restriction associated with each patient;
- cause the first computing device to prompt, via the user interface, the registered dietitian to review both the previous medical nutrition therapy diet and the data indicative of the dietary restriction associated with the patient;
- receive, from the first computing device based on input provided via the user interface, updated dietary restriction information comprising instructions to assign each patient to a respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet;
- retrieve a food menu associated with the facility, the food menu comprising a food item and a recipe associated with the food item;
- determine that the respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet assigned to at least one patient is not appropriate for the food item based on the recipe associated with the food item;
- apply the food item and the respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet assigned to the at least one patient as input to a model to identify an alternative recipe that is appropriate for the respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet assigned to the at least one patient based on an output of the model;
- add the alternative recipe for the food item to the food menu for the facility;
- cause the food menu to be transmitted to a food service system such that the food item can be prepared for the at least one patient at the facility in accordance with the alternative recipe for the food item;
- receive outcome data comprising measurable physiological data that is indicative of the at least one patient's response to the respective type of medical nutrition therapy diet assigned to the at least one patient;
- generate training data for the model using the outcome data;
- and
- provide the training data to a third computing device associated with the model such that the model can be updated using the training data.
