[The range of activities of home enteral and infusion therapy for home medical care at Hyogo College of Medicine].
Our nutrition department has consolidated to become a clinical nutrition department by integrating NST and home enteral and intravenous nutrition supporting nurses into the nutrition department, which deals with a total control of nutrition therapy including diet, infusion and care at hospital and home. The advantages are that nutrition therapy is feasible in addition to nutritional control by the involvement (participation) of physicians, and that it becomes available for a national registered dietitian to counsel on a nutritional control on more clinical bases. Further, a framework has been constructed to perform all the nutritional control and nutrition therapy with proper coordination on hospitalized patients as well as home-care patients.
