    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Nutrition
    • Health Informatics
    • Medical Record Management

    Background:

    • Clinical dietitians require efficient methods for patient data collection.
    • Existing systems lacked tailored tools for dietitian patient visitation.
    • UMC Medical Center sought to optimize dietitian workflow.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a computer-generated patient listing for dietitians.
    • To create a standardized worksheet for recording patient information.
    • To enhance the efficiency of clinical dietitian patient management.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an existing computer-stored census file as the database.
    • Developed a custom computer program to generate the worksheet.
    • Designed the worksheet to include essential patient identifiers.

    Main Results:

    • A functional computer program was successfully developed.
    • The program generated a dietitian's worksheet with patient name, location, and birth date.
    • The worksheet was formatted for standard 8 1/2" printing.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed computer program meets the expressed need of clinical dietitians.
    • This tool can streamline patient information recording for dietitians.
    • The system provides a foundation for improved clinical nutrition data management.
