Dietary Orders in Task List

Dietary Orders

Dietary tasks display in the Task List when there is a dietary oral order for a client. Having Dietary Orders within Task List permits users to administer and document dietary oral orders in a single console. When viewing Dietary Orders, users can see all valid dietary orders (both current and overdue) and select which order time and date to be administered/documented. This is especially valuable for clients that have multiple dietary oral orders in the same period.

If a Dietary Order requires client acknowledgement or education, users can record those tasks prior to administering and documenting the dietary order. The workflows and displays for Dietary Orders are as follows:
