Make a Better Plan for Your Home Visits by Using hx2go

March 5, 2015 by Leave a comment

The hx2go app allows you to get the information you need to make each home visit as cost-effective and efficient as possible. Hx2go can help you:

  1. Plan to review meals that are roughly proportional with meals that are claimed.
  2. Plan to review meals claimed on weekends.

The app will display all un-visited meals that a provider has claimed within the last four months in the Meals Needed column. Once a meal has been visited the abbreviation of that meal will be removed from the list. For example, a provider that claims breakfast, AM Snack, and lunch will show the abbreviations BAL. Once the provider has had a lunch visit, the list will display only BA. Once AM snack is visited, it will simply display only a B. This information helps monitors to diversify their visits, so that the same provider is not visited at the same meal repeatedly. Read more of this post

Did You Know? Food Frequency Rules in Minute Menu HX

May 15, 2009 by Leave a comment

Minute Menu HX can be configured to check that certain foods—or certain groups of foods—are not served too often.  For example, Minute Menu HX can check to ensure that cookies are not served more than twice a week.  However, until you set up Food Frequency Rules, Minute Menu HX doesn’t know that you want to check for these situations.

You can use Food Frequency rules to check for individual foods served more than a certain number of times per day, per week, or per month.  Also, you can check for this frequency by meal or, more specifically, by individual child.

Food frequency rules are created and managed by you, directly in the Minute Menu HX software.  You can find instructions on setting up food frequency rules under “Managing System Food Preferences” in Section XVII of the Minute Menu HX User Manual.
