EDM2000™ can:
* Improve
safety of feed production and
patient care.
* Create
accurate modular formulations
and provide product traceability.
* Increase
productivity of dieticians and feed
production staff.
What is EDM2000?
EDM2000 is an abbreviation for Electronic
Dietetics Manager (2000 edition). It is a program that manages a series of
related database files. It is designed to help you, the dietician, produce
accurate and detailed feed information. The formula room module
permits the easy and accurate label printing. It provides many other functions to
assist you in your job. It is used in many Hospitals in England since 1994.

How can EDM2000 help
us?
EDM2000
will remove the repetitive data entry of a manual or simple PC system. It
provides checks on the data entered to prevent major errors. It facilitates
the calculation of modular feeds as required by critically ill patients. By
correctly using EDM2000 your department should be more efficient and more
accurate with access to a wealth of historical data. By analysing this
historical data greater understanding of your patients requirements can be
achieved. The program also keeps track of costing in the production and
manufacture of feeds. This can greatly assist the department to accurately
recoup its operating costs from other service providers.

What type of system
do we need to run EDM2000 on?
EDM2000 will require Windows 2000 or
greater, Pentium 4 2Ghz with 512Mb RAM as practical minimum specification.

How much will it
cost to implement?
This is dependent on the type of PC's you
have (or not as the case may be!) and whether they are / will be networked
together. For a multi-user system your budget should start at around £15,000.

Can we use data
from our old existing system?
Yes - dependent of the type of existing
system but the majority of PC based systems can be manipulated to extract
the required data.

Is our data locked into the
EDM2000 program?
No - the data is stored in standard DBF
(Dbase III) format files. The optional report writer or even Excel or Word can be
used to access and extract data.

What of the future?
On a day by day basis EDM2000 is improved
and more features added. We are driven by your requests and needs.
Please ensure that you ask for any feature that you may need, this will then
be assessed and, if possible, it will be added to the next release.
We are currently assessing ways to
seamlessly obtain feedback from the wards for how much feed was consumed to
permit the dietician the have the information to fine tune any feed.
We are also evaluation closer integration
in the formula room to minimise any possible errors.
If a client has a special requirement
then this can be incorporated into your version of
the program.
