FAQs
Why is an allergy "unknown"?
When a Connect message contains an unknown allergen from the EHR that remains unresolved (i.e., the EHR allergen is not mapped to a MealSuite allergen group), then the report prefaces the allergy with Unknown:
If there are multiple unknown allergens, then Unknown: is listed once with each unknown allergen listed after.
Why is a diet order in red font?
If the diet order (diet, texture, fluid) for a person is in red font, it indicates that their diet order is invalid, and as such their diet order needs to be resolved. For more information, see Invalid Diet Orders.
Can I sort the report by diet type or texture type?
No. You cannot sort the report by diet type or texture type. The sort options are as follows:
- Name - sorts the report alphabetically by last name.
- Dining Area - sorts the report according to the delivery sequence set up for dining areas (including residence area enabled as a dining area for in-room service), and sub-sorted by tables, and further sub-sorted by seat number.
- Delivery Sequence - sorts the report according to the delivery sequence set up for room delivery. This option would be selected for residents with in-room service.
