News from Release 15.00 There can be various reasons why a Meal Order for a certain Patient is missing in the “Patient Meal Ordering” module. On the one hand, it is possible that the Food Service staff did not take Meal Orders on the Patient’s Station yet.

In order to facilitate this decision, it is now possible to select a Reason Code which...
