Resources

The following resources have been developed by CMTF teams and the Pediatric, Primary & Community Care, and the Food & Long Term Care Working Groups. Aimed to assist health care professionals working in hospitals, primary & community care & long term care address malnutrition and improve nutrition care in their respective settings, these are relevant to CMAW 2022 theme of “Malnutrition Care for All”.

Adult Hospital & Acute Care

National Standard on Malnutrition Prevention, Detection and Treatment
Created in collaboration with Health Standards Organization and Canadian Malnutrition Task Force (CMTF)-Canadian Nutrition Society, the CAN/HSO 5066:2021 Malnutrition Prevention, Detection and Treatment Standard is intended to be used by organizations that provide acute care/inpatient services to adults and children.

Subjective Global Assessment Video Collection
CMTFs 2022 collection of videos on how to conduct Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), the gold standard for diagnosing malnutrition in adults.

INPAC
Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care (INPAC) is a pathway developed by Canadian clinicians and researchers to detect, monitor, and treat malnutrition in hospitalized acute care adult patients. Learn how to adopt INPAC activities which includes an overview presentation on INPAC, behaviour change techniques and models of improvement from the More-2-Eat Study


Pediatric Hospital & Acute Care

P-INPAC 
Pediatric Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care (P-INPAC) is a evidence-based/consensus-based algorithm developed by Canadian clinicians and researchers and it is based on the model of INPAC, the algorithm used and researched for malnutrition care in adult care settings in Canada. 

Screening
Nutrition screening for paediatric patients which includes who to screen, when, how, which tools to use and other important considerations.

Assessment
Subjective Global Nutrition Assessment (SGNA), the gold standard for diagnosing pediatric malnutrition in hospitals, Standard Anthropometric measurements and more


Primary & Community Care

Malnutrition Toolkit for dietitians to provide hands on tools to help screen, assess and treat malnutrition within primary care, community, and home care. Includes a combination of infographics, evidence based pathways, guidance documents, handouts, and relevant links.

Long Term Care
