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.
Claims19
A method for generating a medical nutrition therapy diet for a patient in a facility, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a remote first computing device associated with a particular registered dietitian over a communication network, a request for identifying information associated with one or more patients associated with the facility requiring development of a medical nutrition therapy diet;
- in response to the request for identifying information associated with one or more patients requiring development of a medical nutrition therapy diet, causing the first computing device to present, via a user interface, identifying information associated with a plurality of patients requiring development of a medical nutrition therapy diet;
- receiving, from the first computing device, a request to present patient data associated with a first patient of the plurality of patients;
- retrieving, from a second computing device over the communication network, at least a portion of nutrition data associated with the first patient, including at least one previous medical nutrition therapy diet assigned with the first patient, and data indicative of a dietary restriction associated with the first patient;
- causing the first computing device to present, via the user interface, the at least one previous medical nutrition therapy diet;
- causing the first computing device to present, via the user interface, at least a portion of the data indicative of the dietary restriction associated with the first patient;
- prompting, via the user interface presented by the first computing device, the particular registered dietitian to review the at least one previous medical nutrition therapy diet, and the data indicative of the dietary restriction associated with the first patient;
- receiving, from the first computing device based on input provided via the user interface, updated dietary restriction information comprising instructions to assign the first patient to a first diet type;
- causing a model to identify a plurality of food item options available for the first patient based on the first diet type;
- causing the first computing device to present, via the user interface, at least a subset of the plurality of food item options available for the first patient based on the plurality of items identified by the model that satisfy one or more conditions associated with the first diet type and that correspond to ingredients stocked by the facility;
- causing the first computing device to present, via the user interface, nutritional information associated with at least the subset of the plurality of food items options including a first item and a second item;
- receiving, from the first computing device, a request to add a first item of the plurality of items to the medical nutrition therapy diet;
- receiving, from the first computing device, a request to add a second item of the plurality of items to the medical nutrition therapy diet;
- causing the first computing device to present, via the user interface, nutritional information associated with the first item and the second item;
- prompting, via the user interface presented by the first computing device, the particular registered dietitian to confirm that the medical nutrition therapy diet comprising the first item and the second item satisfies the first patient's updated dietary restrictions including requirements associated with the first diet type;
- receiving, from the first computing device, an indication that input was received via the user interface confirming that the medical nutrition therapy diet satisfies the first patient's updated dietary restrictions;
- in response to receiving confirmation that the medical nutrition therapy diet satisfies the first patient's updated dietary restrictions, recording an indication that the particular registered dietitian approved the medical nutrition therapy diet as satisfying the first patient's updated dietary restrictions;
- and
- causing the medical nutrition therapy diet to be transmitted to a food service system to cause one or more meals to be prepared for the first patient at the facility based on the medical nutrition therapy diet.

- receive, from the first computing device, a request to present patient data associated with a first patient of the plurality of patients;
- retrieve, from a second computing device over the communication network, at least a portion of nutrition data associated with the first patient, including at least one previous medical nutrition therapy diet assigned with the first patient, and data indicative of a dietary restriction associated with the first patient;
- causing the first computing device to present, via the user interface, the at least one previous medical nutrition therapy diet;
- causing the first computing device to present, via the user interface, at least a portion of the data indicative of the dietary restriction associated with the first patient;
- prompting, via the user interface presented by the first computing device, the particular registered dietitian to review the at least one previous medical nutrition therapy diet, and the data indicative of the dietary restriction associated with the first patient;
- receiving, from the first computing device based on input provided via the user interface, updated dietary restriction information comprising instructions to assign the first patient to a first diet type;
- causing a model to identify a plurality of food item options available for the first patient based on the first diet type;
- causing the first computing device to present, via the user interface, at least a subset of the plurality of food item options available for the first patient based on the plurality of items identified by the model that satisfy one or more conditions associated with the first diet type and that correspond to ingredients stocked by the facility;
- causing the first computing device to present, via the user interface, nutritional information associated with at least the subset of the plurality of food items options including a first item and a second item;
- receiving, from the first computing device, a request to add a first item of the plurality of items to the medical nutrition therapy diet;
- receiving, from the first computing device, a request to add a second item of the plurality of items to the medical nutrition therapy diet;
- causing the first computing device to present, via the user interface, nutritional information associated with the first item and the second item;
- prompting, via the user interface presented by the first computing device, the particular registered dietitian to confirm that the medical nutrition therapy diet comprising the first item and the second item satisfies the first patient's updated dietary restrictions including requirements associated with the first diet type;
- receiving, from the first computing device, an indication that input was received via the user interface confirming that the medical nutrition therapy diet satisfies the first patient's updated dietary restrictions;
- in response to receiving confirmation that the medical nutrition therapy diet satisfies the first patient's updated dietary restrictions, recording an indication that the particular registered dietitian approved the medical nutrition therapy diet as satisfying the first patient's updated dietary restrictions;
- and
- causing the medical nutrition therapy diet to be transmitted to a food service system to cause one or more meals to be prepared for the first patient at the facility based on the medical nutrition therapy diet.
