Nutrition support teams--alive, well, and still growing. Results of a 1991 A.S.P.E.N. survey.
This report summarizes data collected from 1680 hospitals that responded to the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.) Nutrition Support Team Survey. The survey was conducted primarily to determine the prevalence, composition, and funding of existing and planned Nutrition Support Teams. Results tend to verify the importance of the Nutrition Support Team within the hospital's organizational structure. In addition, A.S.P.E.N. hoped to develop a national directory of Nutrition Support Teams as a byproduct of the survey. Details about the Nutrition Support Team Directory appear at the conclusion of this report.
