Computrition Reviews

Computrition is an easy way to manage patient's diets. The interface/technical team is great.

I do not have any dislikes of the software.

Patient's needs for specific diets.

.User friendly and easy to use, especially if you don't have a background in nutrition

There is nothing that I dislike, I found it amazing software

No confusion with food allergies, recipe ingredients or special diets/textures

Many people can have access same time.

create meal tickets with detail e.g.

Can enter dislikes or likes as patients food preferences. But some of its categories is too not specific enough eg. Pepper (is it black pepper or chili pepper). They provide a clear list of discharges or transfers of patients and users are able to delete them after checking.

The space for Special /personalized note on food menu ticket is limited. The conditioning offer takes a lot of time to do. For food size or special note there is no build in function that diet technicians can just drag and drop eg. Double meat, double soup

They help establish menu ticket so that we don't have to write it out manually and it is able to keeps

a record of patients food preferences . We can implement a 14 day menu cycle as its base so patients /consumers are able to have a variety of food.

.User friendly and easy to train others on it too

Some features require too many button clicks to print

Very helpful with the variety of tallies generated

Smart sub functionality and global swap.

Inability to merge to sites with basic licence.

Time consuming to build from the ground up. No CNF database only USDA

Acute menus, recipe database

I like how it is user friendly and the format is good.

Additional options for tallies and reports would be great.

We use it for long term care home/hospital food service management. It works well for its intention.

I like that you can see each of the items offered bur not how you copy meals. I wish you could select separate days to copy to and not just days in a row.

The above, copying meals only works for days in a row and not random or alternating days

Placing patient orders timely and effectively

Easy to find all sorts of recipes and pictures

Some of the recipes could use updating and testing.

Standardized recipes

The option to copy menus made menu building easier.

The program lacks crucial features for a high acuity hospital: There is no way of totaling and monitoring fluid restrictions, multiple diet restrictions cause chaos on the trays, and the software’s method for accomodating dislikes and allergies can cause tray tickets to look like someone just listed items at random. The program does not work well for cook-chill systems. Tray tickets have to be reviewed and corrected by the diet clerk frequently due to the software’s lack of algorithm. The company sent staff to help with the implementation for 2 days, but they did very little except observe the chaos the software created.

If you mostly serve Regular diets and rarely have dietary restrictions, this program seemed to work okay. If you are a high acuity facility with renal diets, many allergies, fluid restrictions, etc this is not the software program for you.

The program improved communication among food service staff regarding what items were on the menu for the day.
