Area of Science:

  • Clinical Nutrition
  • Hospital Patient Care
  • Dietary Interventions

Background:

  • Despite existing guidelines, suboptimal nutritional intake remains a significant issue for hospitalized patients.
  • Effective nutritional assessment and intervention strategies are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of a novel Nutritional Screening Tool (NST).
  • To audit the implementation and utility of the NST in a hospital setting.
  • To evaluate the use of nutritional supplements in conjunction with the NST.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a standardized Nutritional Screening Tool (NST).
  • Conducting an audit to assess the application of the NST.
  • Reviewing the prescription and administration of nutritional supplements.
