Abstract

Malnutrition remains prevalent among hospitalized patients in the United States and is associated with higher morbidity, mortality, and utilization costs when compared with individuals without malnutrition.1-3 Furthermore, estimates that malnutrition affects up to 60% of hospitalized older adults,4 yet continues to go unrecognized or undertreated,5 highlight a need to improve care for this patient population. Quality improvement can play an integral role in generating value-based solutions and provide a path for registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) to be at the forefront of improving malnutrition care.
