Inpatient Meal Booking System

Abstract

In the hospital the inpatients’ meal is not only for patient’s hungry, is also for the treatment assistant. The meal is designed and ordered by the nutritionists, which are basing on the physician’s advice. But in a hospital a nutritionist usually cares dozens patients, results in the heavy loading. In the meal order process, this involves departmental data transferring and manpower, and then needs lots of time. As a result, the first meal of the inpatient or the first modified meal would miss. For the purpose of providing the inpatients a in time nutritional care, so we proposed the inpatient meal booking system. Our system developed the electronic forms of meal booking based on the interactive Web technology. The physician’s advises are ordered via the web page, which are then directly transferred to the nutritionist. As a result, the nutritionist could get the inpatient’s data in time, and then assesses the nutritional requirements, issues the meal order.
