The VST System

CLINICAL NUTRITION Tool Kit:
NUTRIENT ANALYSIS TOOL
Using the nutritional composition of recipes and individual inventory items, a patient's nutrient intake can be calculated, taking into account the items consumed or projected to be consumed. Nutrient calculations can be made for individual items or an entire patient menu. Comparisons can be made to RNI or RDA tables. The institution can define as many standard tables as are needed. The nutrient density of a patient's diet or an individual food item can also be calculated.

When used in conjunction with the Diet History Tool, specific patient data, such as age and sex, can be accessed, reducing the amount of time necessary to input this information. Also, the patient's menu/diet selections can be called up on the screen automatically and modified, again reducing input time and increasing accuracy.

Summary nutrient analysis data can be transferred to and stored in the Diet History daily, and a multiple-day composite analysis may be generated.

The VST Nutrient Analysis Tool uses the state-of-the-art ESHA Research nutrient database. Updates to the database are provided on a routine basis. Users may also input additional food items into the nutrient database on-site.
