Considering food represents a significant expense in the healthcare supply chain, it is challenging to successfully manage all the components involved in food service. At some point, operators are faced with the decision to either automate their processes or continue having no visibility of food spending. When it affects operational performance, the decision becomes apparent. Foodservice software provides the traceability and budgetary control that every leading healthcare organization needs. A hospital that uses a food production software system has access to real-time data to regulate foodservice inventory, manage food vendor ordering, build menus, develop recipes, forecast food supply, and generate reports. Effectively ordering, preparing, and storing food all require accurate data especially when it affects the nourishment of patients as well as non-patients. Automation through FOM will standardize food supply at the most cost-effective rates.
