On-Demand and Scheduled Delivery of Patient Meals
As more and more hospitals focus on programs to improve patient satisfaction, there has been a growing interest in moving to room service. However, room service is resource intensive, requiring a larger investment in the physical delivery of meals. The need for a cost-efficient, scheduled and on-demand food delivery solution is greater than ever before.
TUG®, Aethon’s Automated Robotic Delivery System (ARD), provides automated, cost-effective delivery of meals to patient floors and delivery of dirty trays back to food services. Regardless of when an order is placed, TUG and its state-of-the art navigation technology can be summoned with the simple press of a computer key, delivering meals without the need for human escort in a timely and accurate manner.
With delivery of meals left to Aethon’s technology, food services staff can spend more time on managing dietary needs and interacting with patients, while nurses can focus on providing quality patient care, leading to increased employee satisfaction and patient outcomes. In addition, TUG allows hospital and department administrators to better manage the number of full-time employee hours needed, resulting in long-term increases in return on investment.
Empower your staff to make a difference with patients. TUG will do the rest.
