Meal Planning

Effective meal planning is essential for senior care facilities to support resident well-being and streamline operations, especially for assisted living, skilled nursing facilities, and memory care unit residents. Prophix One’s Meal planning with Prophix One FP&A Plus enables your facility to avoid food shortages, overstocking, and underutilized kitchen staff. By analyzing historical data on dietary needs, patient volume, and food costs as well as managing key variables such as patient dietary restrictions and food preferences, you can develop accurate and cost-effective meal plans.

Prophix One’s collaboration tools streamline the process of gathering insights from nutrition, clinical, and administrative teams, whether adjusting for seasonal patient volume changes or aligning with new dietary regulations. This ensures accurate meal provisioning, optimized kitchen resources, and minimal food waste. Whether you're preparing for routine patient meals or anticipating increases in demand, Prophix One FP&A Plus facilitates the process of creating a robust meal planning strategy alongside your room revenue, health services, and staff resourcing planning. Integrating meal planning with health services planning ensures that dietary provisions align with clinical care, optimizing nutrition to support residents’ health. Room occupancy rates and patient hours per resident day (HPRD) directly influence meal needs, and integrated business planning in FP&A Plus allows you to take all factors into consideration.

Managing meal plans in FP&A Plus ensures that forecasts are aligned with the organization’s overall financial and operational goals. From controlling food costs to ensuring efficient staffing and patient satisfaction, anticipate and respond to the changing demands of your healthcare operations. As your facility scales or adjusts to changes in patient volume, FP&A Plus helps maintain alignment between meal provision, health services, and capital planning, helping you balance patient care with financial and operational targets.
