Improving patient nutrition through simple initiatives.
Nutrition is an important aspect of patient care and sometimes simple changes can make a significant difference. Initiatives such as Essence of Care and protected mealtimes can be used to improve patients' nutritional intake. While simple initiatives can often involve more work than expected, the final outcome and benefits for patients justify the time spent.
