This year’s Malnutrition Awareness Week will be focused on the nutrition screening process and diagnosing malnutrition within specialty populations. The programs will also address continued treatment of malnourished individuals after discharge. This webinar will address the continuum of malnutrition from the hospital to the home and highlight available community nutrition resources to aid in combatting community malnutrition.

Objectives:

Explain how addressing malnutrition in the community setting can reduce hospital readmission rates
List nutrition resources which are available for the malnourished patient after discharge from the hospital
Highlight programs aimed to reduce or prevent malnutrition and improve outcomes
