Dietitians working in the LTC field have special needs and challenges, and a PDA can get you organized, save time, improve productivity, and provide a wealth of information!
Here are a few tips for LTC dietitians.
Use your PDA to:
- track patients in your facility and among different facilities.
- calculate calorie needs, tube feedings, lab conversions, and more.
- look up food and medication interactions on your PDA in an instant (leave that bulky book behind!).
- record patient information that will eventually be sent back to a larger program on
your main computer (such as DietBook).
- keep track of monthly weights.
- keep track of quarterly assessments.
- keep track of inservices -- both future and past.
- be able to access all of your contracts at your fingertips.
- keep track of the hours you spend at each facility.
- list, refer to, and keep track of all your recommendations for immediate follow-up.
- keep track of all your expenses for tax purposes.
- jot down notes before you forget important information.
