Nutrition for Patient Care: Real World Perspective

Dr Correia presents the current state of consensus in nutrition intervention guidelines and protocols, and then highlights institutional success in implementation of a nutrition-focused Quality Improvement Program (QIP). The QIP is associated with improvement of several important clinical outcomes, including a reduction in both length of stay and 30-day readmissions in hospitalized patients. The evidence from real world clinical practice clearly supports nutrition intervention.
