Tired of hearing about how your Patient Menus have not changed or been updated in forever?

For Critical Access Hospitals, manpower is at a premium. You need to make do with what you have while still being compared to the quality and service of any other hospital no matter how big or small. “Spare” FTEs are not available to test and develop recipes, or change and update your patient menus, which limits the options and quality for your patients.

Stella’s Critical Access Hospital Food Service Solution (CAHFSS) has been specifically designed for Critical Access Hospitals like yours!

  • Patient Menus change automatically & include holiday specials
  • No coding Allergens or Diet Info
  • No manual input
  • No administrative work

Stella’s CAHFSS packages are easy to set up and do not require any software installation.

Stella provides you with a complete, vast, and instantly usable set of recipes and menus, that is fully coded in respect of diet & allergen compliances along with Nutritional information included, all in line with the Nutritional Care Manual. No need for manual input.

Stella guarantees that your patient menus are changed/updated at least twice per year. Additionally, Stella will ensure you have special holiday menus ready to offer for your patients.

Stella’s integrated Survey Module, allows you to get real-time feedback, on new menu offerings, ensuring patient satisfaction is continually met.

In addition, Stella provides the complete administration and management of the software solution. No need to burden IT or your Food Service Staff with standard maintenance duties such as inputting nutritional, diet, or allergen data.

The ability to allow patients to place their meal orders on their own devices will provide your employees time for what really counts – dedicated patient interaction.

Most important of all, patient satisfaction scores will increase!
