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.
