Assessing the Nutrition Support Team.

JPEN. Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition

|July 1, 1987

Summary

Nutrition support teams (NSTs) are rapidly increasing but lack standardization. Establishing essential features for every NST is crucial for recognizing the full potential of clinical nutrition as a medical branch.

Area of Science:

Clinical Nutrition
Healthcare Management

Background:

The rapid proliferation of nutrition support teams (NSTs) nationwide necessitates standardization.
Current NSTs exhibit significant variability, hindering consistent identification and function.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a conceptual framework for essential NST features.
To discuss NST efficacy within this standardized framework.

Main Methods:

Formulation of essential features for NSTs.
Review and discussion of existing data on NST efficacy.

Main Results:

A standard formulation for NSTs is proposed.
Evidence suggests cost-effectiveness for hospital NST establishment.

Conclusions:

Standardization is needed for NSTs to realize their full potential in clinical nutrition.
Further research is required to fully recognize and test the role of NSTs in advancing clinical nutrition.
