title: [V debate forum of the SENPE. Current issues on home-based and ambulatory artificial nutrition].
abstract: A multidisciplinary and multiprofessional debate is established trying to detect and find plausible solutions regarding Home-based and Ambulatory Enteral Nutrition (HBAEN) in Spain, due to the little attention paid by the Administration to the global problem of hyponutrition, the little interest showed by the collectivity of health care professionals, and the lack of a regulation differentiating the patient at his/her home and the patient at a nursing home. It was concluded that the current legislation on Home Based Enteral Nutrition (HBEN) has been variedly applied and does not contemplate the real clinical health care, with some pathologies subsidiary of this kind of therapy being excluded. Proposals to improve both financing and pathologies irrespective of the kind of nutritional therapy are made.
