Case Studies - Morrison Healthcare

MMT is used to track each patient identified by the dietitian as malnourished from the time the dietitian sees them until they are discharged. It takes the data and determines the difference in reimbursement due to the malnutrition code. The data also help us identify missed opportunities, such as when the dietitian identified malnutrition, but the patient wasn’t coded with malnutrition at discharge. This is an example where the MHC Malnutrition program helps the hospital receive reimbursement for the care provided.

Technology has transformed the healthcare experience for patients and providers. It has brought new levels of efficiency and helped to deliver results for new safety initiatives. In hospital food and nutrition services, Morrison Healthcare has developed and invested in our MyDining program to bring a new level of service to patients.

InstaEat Mobile Ordering proved itself to be the perfect digital solution to an inaccessible cafeteria—and when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, it became a critical part of the Morrison Healthcare team’s safety toolkit as well. 

Children deserve the best when it comes to their health. Children’s Mercy is leading the way for compassionate care for the most vulnerable patients. Through their dedication to holistic care, innovation, and education, Children’s Mercy is transforming the health and well-being of children across the region. For their success to continue, the health systems must align food and nutrition services with its already high-level of clinical care. 

In today’s evolving healthcare environment, quality patient care is of the utmost importance. Nutrition therapy is an integral part of this process since it’s estimated that about 30- 50% of hospitalized patients are malnourished upon admission. To help them solve this issue, Morrison Healthcare has developed a new software tool called MyMalnutrition Tools (MMT). The MMT program was implemented within 15 facilities in the same system.
