New Nutrition Module

Yardi EHR

By Natalie Mahn on Oct 28, 2024 in Senior Living

We’re excited to announce a brand-new nutrition module in Yardi EHR! This module was created based on feedback from our senior living clients.

The nutrition module provides one intuitive place to see all nutrition intake — and output if applicable — for each resident.

Streamline nutrition management with Yardi EHR

In order to optimize care outcomes in senior living, you need to efficiently manage resident nutrition. With that in mind, we developed a brand-new nutrition module in Yardi EHR — our integrated, full-service electronic health record solution.

The innovative module offers a centralized place to track all nutrition-related data for residents. Not only does this streamline workflows for food and nutrition staff, but it also empowers caregivers to provide personalized, effective care.  

At a glance, staff can view a resident’s dietary intake, BMI and weight gain or loss. They can also see a resident’s nutritional preferences, current dietary orders and allergies — all in one place. There’s the option to add meal and intake information, too, as well as output charting (if necessary).

Learn why we developed this module

It’s challenging for staff to track resident nutrition without dedicated resources. Caregivers have to navigate multiple modules — primarily the assessment and vital sign sections — to document dietary intake and preferences. Not only is this approach inefficient, but it also leads to confusion, since vital-sign templates get cluttered with unrelated data.

This inspired us to create the nutrition module, which alleviates these challenges, streamlines nutrition management and improves resident care.

Explore key features of the nutrition module

The nutrition module consolidates vital information in one easy-to-access area, allowing you to:

View resident intake at a glance — staff can quickly assess a resident’s dietary intake, weight fluctuations and BMI without sifting through multiple systems. This streamlined overview supports timely interventions and personalized care plans.

Track nutritional preferences and orders — the module provides a comprehensive view of each resident’s nutritional preferences, current dietary orders and allergies, ensuring staff can accommodate individual needs effectively.

Enhance staff workflows — with the ability to log meal and intake data directly in the nutrition module, staff members don’t have to toggle between various sections. This improvement minimizes disruptions and maximizes time spent with residents.

Document output information — for those instances where output charting is necessary, staff can add this information seamlessly within the same module, ensuring all relevant data is collected without confusion.

See the impact of the new module

Our nutrition module enhances communication among staff members, fosters better decision making and ultimately improves resident outcomes. We’re excited to see the positive impact this module will have on teams and the residents they serve.
