Nutritional Screening and assessment, and treatment and follow-up of hospitalized children with malnutrition should be organized by a multidisciplinary team and appropriate nutritional pathways are needed.
CMTF’s Peds Working Group has developed evidence-based strategies around screening, assessment, and treatment of hospitalized children however, there are challenges implementing pathways in hospitals related to barriers around knowledge, resources and logistics. Moreover, there is a gap in the organization and provision of nutrition care once these children are discharged from hospital. Therefore, it is important to learn from experiences in other countries that have managed to adopt guidelines, including the incorporation of hospital quality indicators around malnutrition care, and are currently engaged in further research into post-discharge care.
In this session, one of the founding members of the Dutch Malnutrition Steering Group, will discuss the Dutch approach and review the processes for implementing nutrition screening for children in the hospital and in the community in the Netherlands. Lessons learned from the mandatory reporting of malnutrition to the Dutch government will also be shared along with resources and tools. Recommendations will be made on how these findings can be applied to a Canadian setting, in a team-based approach.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this webinar the audience will be able to:
- Learn about the latest evidence and knowledge related to screening and treatment of malnutrition in the pediatric hospital setting,
- Familiarize themselves with approaches to multidisciplinary post-discharge care of malnourished children in the community,
- Reflect on how barriers to implementation can be addressed,
- Understand how the findings can be applied to their settings.
