Review of the education titled Diet Basics revealed all diets are ordered by the doctor and are considered as important as medications. Diet drive all production and meals processes. Diets information is communicated to staff through diet tickets, bistro menus, diet spreadsheets, diet manuals, tally sheets, diet lists, etc. Diet spread sheets indicates what each diet should receive based on the diet order and nutrition guidelines and are written and signed off by the corporate dietitian.
