Step to Assign a Temporary Diet Order
-
Create a diet intervention consisting of the diet type and texture type that is to be assigned to the profile.
- Name the diet intervention Temp Diet Order.
- Do not assign any customizations to the diet intervention.
- Assign the person the diet type and texture type required for their temporary diet order (see Assigning Diet Order to Person).
- Assign the person the Temp Diet Order diet intervention (see Assigning a Diet Intervention).
- In the Client ID field, enter the end date of the temporary diet order.
- When you click the Save button to save the profile, a message appears stating that the Temp Diet Order has no customizations, and functions as a note on the profile only. This is as expected; click OK to this message.
- On the People listing screen, set the columns to display Diet Interventions and Client ID, which you can see from the screenshot below has the effect of indicating that a profile has a temporary diet order with end date. To set columns, see Setting Preferred Columns on the People Listing Screen.
