[Hospital food in a Scandinavian team project].
Every meal for the hospitalized patient could be a nice break in the day and give the right amount of essential nutrients. However, studies of food consumption among patients in different Nordic hospitals indicate another reality. There are specific recommendations for food in hospital in all the nordic countries, but the practical aspects are paid less attention. The Nordic Council of Ministers has initiated a joint nordic project to reach the goal "Optimal food in optimal environments". The physician is a very central person, being responsible for the nutritional prescriptions. He also has the opportunity to stress the importance of the patient's nutritional situation.
