DST Software Facilitates Administrative Reviews

inTEAM’s Decision Support Toolkit (DST) provides a simplified process for states to conduct Administrative Reviews.  The design of inTEAM’s Administrative Review module follows all of the guidance provided by USDA’s Administrative Review Guidance and Forms with the inclusion of Option 4 for targeted menu reviews. In addition, the software ensures that all Review documents are in one place.

The Administrative Review module also has the ability to analyze data from your current software to manage Performance Standard 1 and/or Performance Standard 2 for a seamless analysis that only requires that the data be input once.

The analysis is completed on a web-based system so it enables districts and the State Agency to communicate with one another in real time to verify compliance.

To arrange a free product demonstration of the beta version of our Administrative Review software and discuss how we can simplify the process for you and ease your transition to the new standards, please fill out our contact form.

About inTEAM:

inTEAM was founded in 1994 by two of the most respected professionals in school foodservice, Dot Pannell-Martin and Gertrude Applebaum. The vision of these award-winning Child Nutrition Directors was to apply their decades of knowledge and experience in creating standardized foodservice systems to help schools develop successful school meal programs. Today, inTEAM’s original menu-centric philosophy has not changed. Instead, it has embraced technology to better serve the changing needs of its K-12 and State Department of Education customers.  You may also contact us directly at info@e-inteam.com.
