THIBODAUX REGIONAL MEDICAL CTR.
Thibodaux, LA
With the implementation of Diet Office and Room Service automation, Thibodaux cut diet office labor by half a FTE through the use of the spoken menu with tablet PC’s at the patient’s bedside.
However, the most significant impact DFM has had on their operation is the reduction of time spent in the diet office and their increased accuracy of trays. Also, DFM’s payroll deduction feature has given their staff the ability to charge their meals, resulting in an increase in sales of 13%. DFM’s payroll deduction has also resulted in a reduction of fees paid to credit card companies by 45%, contributing to the overall effectiveness of their new retail operations.
