[Infographic] Bridging the Gap: The Power of Foodservice Technology and EHR Integration
With foodservice technology that connects to your EHR provider, you bridge the gap between clinical care and dining, ensuring personalized, nutritious meals that meet each resident's specific health needs in real-time.
Instantly flow data that’s entered into your EHR system to your foodservice software’s diner profiles:

Allergens
Diet orders
Resident photos

Choking Risk | Allergic reaction
When you integrate your foodservice system with your EHR provider, allergen alerts and dietary restrictions—such as texture modifications— help ensure every meal that’s offered, plated and served is safe and tailored to residents' needs.
According to the National Foundation of Swallowing Disorders, it’s estimated that 22% of adults over the age of 50 experience dysphagia, so staying up-to-date with textures is critical.
