DigitalRD’s Innovative Dietary Software

Transforming Nutritional Documentation for Senior Care 

DigitalRD's patent-pending dietary software is changing how dietitians document, monitor, and improve nutritional care in senior living environments. Designed by dietitians for dietitians, our innovative dietary software addresses the unique documentation challenges facing nutrition professionals in nursing facilities, assisted living communities, personal care facilities, and long-term care settings. 

 

This powerful tool emerges from decades of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of the real-world challenges in nutrition for seniors. Available nationwide, our software helps facilities across the country dramatically improve both operational efficiency and resident outcomes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How does the software differ from the nutritional components in our current EHR?

    While standard EHR systems provide basic documentation fields for nutrition, our specialized dietary software offers significantly more comprehensive assessment tools, automatic calculations, risk identification algorithms, and nutrition-specific reporting capabilities. The difference is comparable to using a basic calculator versus a specialized financial software program—both handle numbers, but one is specifically designed for the complex requirements of your profession. 


  • Do we need special technical expertise to implement the software?

    No special technical expertise is required. Our team handles the setup process, and the software is designed with an intuitive interface that most users can master in a single training session. If your staff can navigate basic computer applications, they'll quickly become proficient with our system. 

  • What kind of return on investment can we expect?

    Facilities typically see ROI in multiple areas: 


    • Reduced labor costs through more efficient documentation processes 

    • Improved reimbursement through more thorough, accurate nutritional coding 

    • Reduced supplementation costs through more targeted nutritional interventions 

    • Better survey outcomes with fewer nutrition-related citations 

    • Dramatic reduction in unintended weight loss (40% on average)

How long it takes dietitians to perform their job duties;

And if the dietitians are operating at their most efficient pace.

DigitalRD provides teams with:


More accurate nutrient calculations;

More concise methods;

Time-and-money-saving strategies.
