Project poster

The food pantry program within the Seattle Children’s Hospital offers food to some outpatients and any inpatients families for free. Currently, the staff needs to make updates manually and perform weekly inventory updates based on food availability. A transition from the current physical order form to an online form would benefit from automatic form rendering based on food availability in the pantry and easier food inventory tracking. Additionally, an online application allows for more customizations, such as generating the form in a patient’s native language. Our mission is to make the ordering process as seamless and intuitive as possible.
