Patient nutrition

Part of therapeutic patient care is appropriate nutrition. For this field, our company has developed and provides the ASTRIS system (automated nutrition and information system) which addresses automated dining facilities transactions. The system provides a comprehensive solution with respect to the nutritional needs of patients and clients in hospitals, retirement homes, medical institutions, institutions, sanatoriums etc. It can be used any place where nutrition is a part of the therapeutic process. It covers all fields and problem areas related to the production and distribution of meals, including complicated dietetic operations.

Individual Diets

The system enables the creation of any kind of patient-composed meals according to precise nutritional requirements, without increasing demands on meal service operations. The implementation of this method of therapeutic nutrition is possible only under the condition of the exercise of food exchange principles of meal composition. The basic menu composition for standard diets is comprised of a sufficient set of foods, by the appropriate combination of which it is possible to create a completely new diet for discrete patients by changing the sets of foods in the standard diet, changing their number or supplementing sets of foods from complete sets. This system increases the significance of the work of dietary nurses, who can set up individualized diets based on consultation with the patient and doctor, particularly for patients with long-term illnesses or for patients with metabolic disruptions. In this way dining services are not significantly burdened by having to prepare a small number of special dishes.

Advantages:

• The system enables observation of what a patient actually ate, and on this basis, the addition of supplementary nutrition
• Dining service can be raised to the level of therapeutic nutrition
• The system brings significant savings of regularly used special additives or even nutritional supplements
