Putting Pictures into the Active System is easy. You only need a digital camera and this organized input program from the Active System.
The Active System is the only system that features Automated Spreading of Regular Diets acrossed any number of other Special Diets. This dramatically reduces the time needed to create menus, and allows you to change your menus easilty in accordance with resident wishes.
Figure 7. Active System Menu/Spread Sheet Program.
Menus can be printed with or without portion sizes and/or scoop sizes. There is even a finger foods version of the entire menu system. This is a true finger foods menu for all diets. Once the menu is spread, combination diets are handled automatically by the Active System. Menu Substitutions are already assigned and automatically applied and printed on the individual meal card or select menu.
Record Food Temperatures Easily with the Temperature Record that is Printed with the Menu on it.
Figure 8. Food Temperature Records.
The Active System Interfaces with your Refrigerators, Freezers, Steam Table and Dishmachine to Take and Record Temperatures Automatically at pre-set intervals. This system is very well accepted by all inspectors.
Figure 9. Take and Record Temperatures Automatically.
Special Sensors are wired through out your department to make sure your temperatures are taken and recorded. The system alarms when a temperature is out of compliance. Now you can prove your equipment has been operating within compliance between inspections. The system readings can also be monitored remotely and the readings are included on the Emailed Facility Summary Report.
The Active System Recipes are illustrated with pictures which can be instructional and/or for asthetic purposes.
Figure 10. Recipes
There are 1200 Long Term Care Specific Quantity Recipes in the Active System and more are being added every day. It's easy to add your own, and each recipe has an historical record section to record special notes about each recipe.
The Inventory program is already filled with all the common items for a Nursing Home.
Figure 11. Inventory Program.
The inventory program features location or zone inventory which dramatically reduces the time required to count your inventory. There is also a very useful provision for interfacing with your Vendors Ordering Program to download current pricing directly to the Active System and match it up to your inventory items.
On the Clinical Side, the Active System is completely integrated between the Dietary Production and Service and the Clinical Dietetics.
Figure 12. Nutritional Assessment.

Figure 14. MDS Section K Worksheet.
If a signifant change in weight is indicated, the Active System stops, displays the resident's weights and lets you decide whether the weight change is an actual change, or due to inaccurate weights.
The Active System is also capable of Automatically hiliting and filling out Dietary Raps in much more detail and in a much more individualize fashion than with just MDS data.
Figure 15. The Tube Feeding RAP Filled out by the Active System.

Figure 16. Active System Care Plans are Very Individualized and Automation Facilitates Creation of the Care Plan.
The Personal Touch Added to each care plan is tracked by the Active System to avoid canned care planning. However, the automated care plan is already very individualized form the vast amount of personal information in the resident's cardex file.
