Title: Addressing the Skeleton in the Hospital Kitchen
Presenter: Janice Sorensen RD, Ph.D.
The Canadian Malnutrition Task Force (Canadian Nutrition Society) assembled in 2018 a Food in Healthcare Working Group, which aims to foster improvements to the hospitalized patient mealtime experience, contributing to improved patient intake and optimal nutritional care for patients by developing national standards. The session will provide an update of the group's work to date including the latest results from the Canadian Hospital Foodservice Practice survey. The relevance of these findings to practice will be reviewed including how to address common gaps in practice and opportunities to optimize hospital food services for better alignment with the latest evidence and best practice to prevent malnutrition.
