Description:
Hospital Malnutrition is a serious and widespread health concern that continues to exist in Canada. Up to 1 in 2 adult patients and 1 in 3 pediatric patients are malnourished on admission to hospital. A national hospital standard is vital to the improvement of current practices and can be the building block for public policies around malnutrition. The Canadian Malnutrition Task Force, a standing committee of the Canadian Nutrition Society, and the Health Standards Organization (HSO) have developed Canada’s First National Malnutrition Prevention, Detection and Treatment Standard. In this session, presenters from CMTF led initiatives and HSO will review the rigorous, multidisciplinary process undertaken to develop the standard, present key recommendations for nutrition practices, and will share practical strategies to adopt the standard.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the key components and measures of the Malnutrition Standard
- Identify areas to prevent, detect and treat malnutrition in hospitalized adults and children
- Implement practical strategies for a multidisciplinary approach to manage malnutrition throughout the patient’s hospital stay and on discharge.
Moderator: Leah Gramlich, MD, FRCPC - University of Alberta
