All the meals served are linked to the patients, and there is a complete control of changes outside of working hours, admissions, discharges… Coquus Nutrition generates management reports for both the kitchen or concessionaire and the hospital, which share a single view of the information.

Integration

Not all integrations are equal. An advanced integration like Coquus Nutrition will allow you to have all patients in Coquus. Hospitalization, but also Emergency, Outpatient… and many other units so that the meal is always linked to a patient. This advanced integration allows the integration of many other data such as diet prescription, allergies, food intake blockages due to the patient’s presence in lists such as surgeries or tests, etc. A surprising range of benefits for the daily work of professionals hidden behind the integration.

Hospital and nursing home chains

Coquus Nutrition has been managing chains of centers for many years, incorporating functionality and best practices to optimize the operation of multiple kitchens and centers. Raw materials, recipes and menus can be local or global, access of dietitians from one center to the management of incidents in another center, average and individual costs between centers, etc. etc.

If your company manages several centers, discover the model proposed by Coquus Nutrition and the advantages of centralizing management thanks to digitalization.

We had the challenge of organizing the diets of different hospitals, in different kitchens, in different provinces, with a very diverse menu selection, to achieve an excellent patient experience. Coquus was an essential ally in achieving this.

Specific benefits for your daily life

Improve patient safety

Dietitians or cooks in communities make hundreds of decisions every day, introducing the risk of human error where technology is infallible. Coquus automates these decisions by putting your organization’s knowledge in your tool, not people, so that all adjustments follow your rules and are always done the same way, without error and regardless of who is in the kitchen today.

Improve the patient experience

There are two key factors in the patient experience. The first is to customize the menu to their preferences, beyond allergens. Coquus automates the customization, multiplying the use of preferences without increasing the workload of the dietitian and the kitchen. The second is to give the patient direct access to his/her menu so that he/she can choose what he/she likes best or avoid what he/she does not eat. The patient becomes more involved in his/her diet and increases his/her satisfaction, which improves the final objective: better nourished patients. We explain what it consists of.

Reduces waste and costs

Accurate management of requirements, production and consumption history, automation of food intake blocks (planned operations, ECOs, TACs…), etc. eliminates the direct waste of thousands of trays and adapts the entire feeding process to reduce costs without compromising quality. In such an information-intensive process, Coquus automation is an immediate efficiency gain.

Eliminates thousands of hours of administrative work

Many of the tasks performed in your kitchen are repetitive. Dietitians read, interpret, choose, act, and reflect these decisions in your systems to maintain patient traceability. Coquus performs all of these tasks automatically, freeing up thousands of hours that you can spend on the many more value-added tasks to fight malnutrition and make your foodservice excellent.

Comprehensive management control

In Coquus, everything is recorded: who requested a change, who accepted or postponed it, at what time, if it involved the manufacture of a new tray, etc. etc. And all these changes are linked to specific patients, not beds, generating a single, shared report for both the hospital and its kitchen or concessionaire, allowing total management control and total transparency.
