Electronic Meal Ordering In today’s healthcare environment, empowering patients with tools to personalize their stay is the key to delivering a better care experience while improving operational efficiencies. The Electronic Meal Ordering software has been designed to realize the benefits of electronic ordering by combining the menu/food ordering system with Barco’s bedside terminals. Self-service improves independence The service alerts patients to the latest menu and time to order, and presents them with an easy-to-use menu selection process. Their choice is then submitted instantly to the catering department for fulfillment. While the majority of patients order their own food today, the system allows for those who sometimes can’t by providing an easyto-use administration tool that enables staff to order on a patient’s behalf as necessary.
