Program Description
40-85% of patients and nursing home residents experience protein-calorie malnutrition, which promotes involuntary weight loss, pressure wound development, poor wound healing and other negative patient or resident outcomes. Because malnutrition and many of its unintended consequences can often be prevented, appropriate recognition and management of malnutrition or the risk for malnutrition is of primary importance in assessing the status of patients and residents. An evaluation of the nutritional assessment, care planning, interventions and monitoring should be completed for each case involving malnutrition, weight loss or pressure wounds. Janet McKee, a nutritional expert, exposes the practices that lead to malnutrition. This interactive webinar provides the knowledge to determine when nutrition is a key issue in case evaluations and screening a claim for merit.
This program will help you to:
- Identify the signs and symptoms of malnutrition and the cascade of negative outcomes promoted by malnutrition
- Identify the medical nutrition therapy documentation required by the nutrition standards of care
- Determine when a nutrition expert may be needed to help support your claims or defend your case
