UNC Health Southeastern Taps Transact + CBORD to Launch Mobile Meal Ordering

New digital experience delivers personalized nutrition guidance and easier access to care.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Transact + CBORD today announced the implementation of a new self-service meal ordering capability at UNC Health Southeastern. Powered by the CBORD® Patient App, the new offering enhances the patient experience by providing greater autonomy, interactive nutrition education, and an easier way for patients and their loved ones to participate in care.

The CBORD® Patient App connects directly to UNC Health Southeastern’s nutrition system, enabling real-time access to personalized meal choices based on each patient’s dietary needs. The app displays only foods appropriate to the patient’s clinical diet and provides guidance for those on nutrient-controlled diets (e.g., fluid, carbohydrate, protein), automatically limiting selections that exceed allowable thresholds.

“I am extremely proud of the effort our team has put forth to ensure that our patients, family members and staff have a more convenient, accurate and efficient way to order food,” said UNC Health Southeastern VP and Chief Engagement Officer Patrick Ebri, PhD. “It is indeed a game changer.”

The pilot program is currently live in the Women’s Health Services Unit, with plans to expand to additional hospital units later this year.

“We’re redefining what patient-centered care looks like — starting with the menu,” said Arun Ahuja, SVP & GM - Healthcare & Corporate at Transact + CBORD. “Together with UNC Health Southeastern, we’re making hospital stays more personalized and empowering through technology.”
