This webinar series, sponsored by Abbott, will describe two specific strategies the CNS Canadian Malnutrition Task Force is pursuing to advance the malnutrition agenda in Canada.
The More-2-Eat studies were conducted between 2015 and 2019 and provide a basis for quality nutrition care practice in Canadian hospitals. Initially this research determined if the Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care could be feasibly implemented in Canadian hospitals. Five diverse hospitals implemented this best practice pathway for nutrition care in medical patients over a one year period. All hospitals implemented and sustained screening, Subjective Global Assessment, and medication pass of oral nutritional supplements. Improved care practices resulted in decreased barriers to food intake in hospital and a trend towards decreased length of stay. Phase 2, which was recently completed, involved the original sites, with additional units and six new hospitals. Practices were sustained in original hospitals and successfully taken up in new units and hospitals. This research complements a state of the art review recently completed by the Canadian Malnutrition Task Force. Recommendations for best practice in nutrition care of adult patients have been created that will advance nutrition care in hospitals in Canada.
Learning Objectives:
- Review key results from the More-2-Eat Study.
- Identify better practices based on More-2-Eat and a recent State of the art review.
- Discuss key elements to sustaining and spreading practice.
