How to Spread & Sustain Awareness of Malnutrition
Register Here
The data and evidence on the impact of malnutrition are strong; however, continued efforts are needed to increase awareness of malnutrition across several healthcare settings. Despite barriers and challenges brought on by staffing and funding restraints, many clinicians have been able to increase malnutrition awareness by using approaches that are targeted to their specific settings. In this session, several speakers from ASPEN’s Malnutrition Awareness Week (MAW) Ambassador Program and Canadian Nutrition Society’s Canadian Malnutrition Task Force (CMTF) will share their personal insights on how to increase awareness of malnutrition and which effective strategies can be deployed. Resources and tools that are easily available to support these efforts will also be shared. Concluding remarks will focus on key messages around sustaining initiatives aimed at increasing malnutrition awareness.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the impact of malnutrition and the importance of increasing awareness
- Recall various strategies for raising malnutrition awareness in a variety of patient care settings
- Apply principles learned to initiate a malnutrition project in one’s own practice setting
- Describe strategies to measure success and sustain ongoing malnutrition awareness efforts
