In short

How do I get an accurate daily meal census before production starts?

WebRun pulls the current patient meal census from Computrition every morning, broken out by diet type, unit, and NPO status. It logs the counts to a Google Sheet with a 7 day trend, and emails kitchen production and the executive chef a ready-to-use headcount, so production planning starts with real numbers before the first tray is built.

  • Production starts each day with a real headcount instead of yesterday's estimate
  • Unusual swings in a diet type get flagged before trays are built
  • 7 days of census history rides along for trend comparison

Questions, answered

Does it change production quantities on its own?

No. WebRun only reports the census and the counts. Deciding how much to produce is always a call your kitchen production manager makes.

How current is the census when it lands in my inbox?

It pulls Computrition's live patient count each morning, so new admits and discharges since yesterday are already reflected before you open the email.

Can I see the census by unit, not just by diet type?

Yes. The logged sheet and the emailed headcount both break the count out by unit as well as diet type, and keep 7 days of history for the trend.

Put this on autopilot.
