Automated Computrition Tube Feed Shortage Alerts

Every morning, WebRun opens Computrition, compares enteral formula inventory on hand against active tube feed orders and their prescribed rates, texts nutrition services through Twilio the moment a formula's on-hand supply drops below 2 days at current usage, and drafts a reorder email for purchasing to review and send to the distributor.

In short

How do I catch a tube feed formula shortage before a patient's feed is interrupted?

WebRun checks enteral formula inventory in Computrition every morning against active tube feed orders and their prescribed rates. When a formula drops below 2 days of supply, it texts the on-call nutrition manager through Twilio and drafts a reorder email for purchasing to review, so a feed never gets interrupted by a preventable stockout.

  • Formula shortages get caught with at least 2 days of runway left
  • Purchasing opens a ready-to-send draft instead of writing the order from scratch
  • No feed gets interrupted by a stockout nobody saw coming

Questions, answered

Will it send the reorder to the formula distributor on its own?

No. WebRun only drafts the reorder email and leaves it unsent in purchasing's inbox. A person always reviews it and sends it themselves.

How does it decide a formula is running short?

It compares on-hand inventory against every active tube feed order's prescribed rate and flags any formula with less than 2 days of supply left at current usage.

Who gets texted about the shortage?

The on-call clinical nutrition manager, through Twilio. It never contacts a patient or family member about formula supply.
