SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Natividad Medical Center provides food and nutritional services to patients, visitors, and employees as part of its daily operations. CBORD’s electronic system Foodservice Suite (FSS) improves service delivery efficiency, patient safety and meal satisfaction as well as assists with compliance with the Joint Commission (TJC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) food services standards.
The CBORD software provides automation to the process of patient meal service, reporting, and analysis. This includes interfacing with the Meditech system, improved diet order accuracy, production standards, and reduced waste. CBORD supports NMC’s future goal of expanding meal services to the room service model where patients can order meals from their bedside.
NMC is requesting approval to amend the existing agreement to extend service and maintenance for an additional one year period to allow for services to continue.
