Next Diet (Aged Care Operations System)

A workflow system for managing dietary requirements, meal tracking, and reporting—built to reduce paper-based handling and improve operational visibility.

Context

Aged care operations require accurate dietary information and clear traceability. Staff need fast workflows and reliable reporting.

Problem

Paper-based and fragmented processes increased risk and made it difficult to verify completion of meal-related workflows.

Approach

  • Built a single workflow system for dietary requirements and meal tracking.
  • Implemented Meal Given tracking to remove ambiguity and support reporting.
  • Added audit log events for accountability and traceability.
  • Automated deployments and infrastructure provisioning via CI/CD and IaC.

Outcome

  • Improved workflow reliability and visibility for staff and managers.
  • Enabled reporting to verify completion of operational steps.
  • Created an auditable history of actions via event logging.
