Nutrition Optimization in Early Dialysis
The use of quality improvement methodology effectively improved nutrition delivery for high-risk patients and was associated with reduced hemodialysis start time delays and enhanced organizational efficiency. This project addressed a specific concern relating to patients receiving dialysis due to baseline rates of undernutrition and barriers to providing nourishment in the hospital. Future studies should focus on further analysis of patients on dialysis and expand to include other hospitalized subpopulations at risk for undernutrition, to optimize and generalize these interventions more broadly.
