In this video, Robert “Bob” Blancato, Dana Buelsing Sowards, Mujahed Khan, and Laura Borth, will share specific ways to advance healthy aging by improving the quality of care against malnutrition across the health continuum. It starts in the hospital, where the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services should adopt a global malnutrition composite score (GMCS) measure to help identify acute-care institutions that provide timely and effective malnutrition care. At the community level, increased funding and support for nutrition programs are needed to help reduce malnutrition and increase access to care in vulnerable populations. Originally presented as a live webinar on June 8, 2022.
