Specialized nutrition care is an individualized nutrition strategy that often includes enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition. It requires the involvement of a registered dietitian and/or a nutrition support team member and is a key component of the Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care (INPAC), a standard to meet the nutritional needs of patients. In this session, a globally renowned gastroenterologist-nutrition specialist will review the role of enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition, with or without oral nutrition supplementation, in optimizing nutrition and preventing or treating malnutrition. Tools created to assist the bedside practitioner with proper assessment techniques to identify malnutrition will be shared. Learn from a nutrition support dietitian educator about the gaps in current practice compared to latest recommendations for enteral and parenteral nutrition in acute care. Practical strategies to overcome challenges faced by dietitians administering nutrition support will be offered.
