Healthcare - Food Costing Software and Management Information Systems

FDH's pedigree has been built upon delivering food costing software and management information systems within cost sector catering and especially the healthcare arena. As catering is not the hospital's core business activity, software solutions have to be highly cost effective, and either improve margins or reduce subsidies, as well as helping the operational day to day routines in the catering department. Over our 20 year history, we have helped many hospital caterers (both in house and contractor led) achieve such core objectives, by implementing our solutions and drawing on our experience of NHS catering

 

The new focus on delivering quality meals and empowering the patients to have more choice at the bedside means that cost control and management information is even more important a topic to the NHS Caterer. The Government's new initiative “Better Hospital Food” has also redefined the NHS Caterer's role, with the plan to allow patients to use new technology at the bedside to order their daily meal selection.

 

Healthcare caterers can therefore benefit from patient menu analysis routines, detailed recipe costing and production controls, and a whole range of business support functions which are all inherent to both our software solutions, proVISION for Windows and Saffron.

 

Whatever your requirement, FDH's solutions have been designed to assist NHS caterers in controlling all aspects of the establishment, from purchase management and stock control through to meal ordering facilities and financial reporting.
