We know very well that food plays a key role in the patient recovery process. A meal tray can pass through many hands, and every step, from ticket creation to tray delivery, has the potential to result in an error and possible harm to a patient. Consequently, hospital tray tracking software is crucial. Whether it’s receiving essential nutrients or simply getting a nourishing meal on time, it’s important that any food given to patients, especially by tray, be handled with care and attention.
Patient Nutrition professionals have an important responsibility to drive hospital initiatives that provide quality care and ensure compliance with patient food safety standards. Meeting these objectives is essential, especially since they can positively impact the reduction of hospital readmission rates and increase reimbursements. With hospital tray tracking software, your operation can take a proactive approach to enhance clinical outcomes as well as overall patient safety and satisfaction.
By automating with Computrition’s Tray InMotion (TIM) Elite solution, hospital Nutrition Services can streamline the tray delivery process and better connect the foodservice supply chain. With continuous tracking starting at ticket creation, Tray InMotion ensures tray delivery times are met, monitors process flow, and helps staff locate trays in seconds. These types of enhancements will eliminate the likelihood of a patient asking, “Where is my tray?”
In addition to having real-time tray tracking functionality, hospital wristband scanning for patient verification is a preventive measure that all Nutrition Services departments need to reduce risk, both to the patient and the facility. With TIM Elite’s Patient Identification Scanning feature, your hospital can ensure accurate tray delivery by:

ALERTING
Scan the patient’s tray ticket and wristband at delivery to verify the diet order did not change, preventing the patient from receiving foods with potential allergens or adverse effects.
ACTING
If the diet order of the scanned wristband does not match the tray or kitchen ticket, the scanner will display a detailed alert so the appropriate action can be taken to deliver the correct meal.
PREVENTING
Prevent patients with a newly changed diet order, such as NPO, from receiving a tray to avoid complications that could result from delivery and consumption.
VERIFYING
Scan the wristband as an additional patient identifier, avoiding potential miscommunication from verbal verification of a patient's identity.
TAKE TRAY INMOTION TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
To further streamline your operational efficiency and maximize the automation of tray distribution management, Computrition offers the Operations Connect Tray Service. This web-based dashboard provides your hospital with tray reporting to monitor tray delivery stats and staff performance effectively. Having the ability to oversee the hospital tray delivery progress at all stages and identify the location of bottlenecks for late trays is vital to your department’s success.
With this solution, hospital Nutrition Services can access the necessary tray delivery data in a sleek dashboard format, alleviating the inefficiencies of running multiple reports. More importantly, accessing metrics via a mobile device, desktop, or monitor in the kitchen or office will be resourceful to ensure your department continually achieves targeted delivery times, develops an optimal daily workflow, and helps boost employee productivity.
