Malnutrition Diagnosis and Documentation: Strategies for Success
Register Here
Description
Despite the continued research and education on malnutrition, there remain challenges in accurately diagnosing and documenting this diagnosis correctly for patient and financial reimbursement benefit. This webinar was chosen as a platform for providing success stories and strategies on how physicians, dietitians and clinical documentation specialists can collaborate together to diagnosis and document malnutrition appropriately. The faculty will present collaboratively by interacting with one another to address malnutrition and diagnosis and documentation strategies.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the importance of diagnosing and documenting malnutrition correctly and how it relates to a medical institution.
- Expound on strategies utilized by the dietitian in relaying the malnutrition diagnosis to the physician, so that the diagnosis is documented in the patient’s chart.
- Describe how the provider and documentation specialist can work together to ensure accurate, complete and appropriate coding/billing for the malnutrition diagnosis.

Addressing Malnutrition in COVID-19 Patients – from Hospital to Home
Register Here
Description
The ASPEN Malnutrition Committee has identified knowledge gaps pertaining to the continued treatment and care of individuals who suffered from COVID-19 and the long-term effects the virus causes. There is limited research addressing the nutritional, physical and psychological long-term effects COVID-19 has on these patients and family once they are transferred out of the ICU and discharged from the hospital. This webinar aims to provide information pertaining to care and management of malnutrition in patients recovering from COVID-19 as they transition from the ICU to rehabilitation and/or home.
Learning Objectives
- Demonstrate understanding of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) in the setting of Covid-19 care and management after the ICU.
- Describe challenges to meeting the nutritional, physical, and psychological needs of hospitalized patients being treated for COVID-19 as they are transitioned from the ICU to rehabilitation or home.
- List available resources in the community for individuals who have been treated for COVID-19 and their families which aid in the continued treatment and prevention of malnutrition.

Collaborating with Non-Nutrition Clinicians on Malnutrition Strategies
Register Here
Description
Malnutrition is a complex condition which requires a multidisciplinary treatment approach for the best outcomes. Due to the ever-changing environment within institutions and available resources, many nutrition experts find themselves working with members of the healthcare team who may not be aware of the latest research and recommendations specific to malnutrition interventions. To ensure the patient’s care is not adversely impacted, the nutrition experts must adapt to these environmental changes and identify the best way to successfully contribute to the nutrition plan of care in treating malnutrition alongside all team members caring for the patients. This webinar will focus on the multidisciplinary team approach to identifying and treating malnutrition when expertise varies across the members of the team and will consist of application of content through case presentations.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in identifying and treating malnutrition in the hospitalized adult.
- Demonstrate understanding of healthcare professionals’ role in identifying and treating malnutrition.
- Describe how nutrition professionals can address malnutrition with a physician in order to successfully initiate nutrition support, either enterally or parenterally.

Description
Nutrient shortages are an on-going issue which healthcare providers are routinely facing. Immediate challenges of these shortages are obvious. However, the long-term effects or consequences are not as easily identifiable, especially in the neonatal population. This webinar hopes to address some of the impacts nutrient shortages have on this population and its correlation to malnutrition.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the necessary nutrition support and progression of feeding in the early life stage of the neonate, including nutrient requirements for proper growth.
- Describe the challenges and strategies of nutrient shortages in providing adequate intake in the neonate requiring nutrition support.
- Demonstrate understanding of the long-term effects nutrient shortages have on the normal growth of a neonate.
