The VST System

CLINICAL NUTRITION Tool Kit:
FOOD/DRUG INTERACTION TOOL
The VST Food/Drug Interaction programs are designed to assist in identifying patients with whom a potential food/drug or drug/nutrient interaction may occur. The system will assist in flagging drugs prescribed to patients that have a potential to affect nutritional status. It will also flag situations in which interaction with nutrients will alter absorption and metabolism of medications. Lists of drugs meeting specific nutrient-related criteria (reduced or delayed absorption, decreased appetite, alcohol affected, etc.) are accessible by the clinical staff.

The system will print a set of instructions for use by the patient that lists the prescribed medication, notes possible undesirable effects, and suggests a dietary approach. If used in conjunction with the VST Menu Management tools, the patient's menu choices will be automatically altered to reflect suggested precautions.
