title: [A survey on nutritional management planning for patients attending an another institute after discharge].
abstract: We sent the reports and plans concerning nutritional management to the 81 facilities, such as a hospital, nursing home, or clinic of home care, and carried out the questionnaire to determine their level of understanding and utilization of the reports. Sixty-nine % understood the purpose of the survey, with 74% noting that the report served as a reference. The purpose of the report was relatively well understood in the hospital or nursing home environments, but was not sufficiently understood in the clinics. In addition, it became clear that several facilities involved with one patient. Therefore, it was necessary to send a report to each facility. The interest in the report concerning nutritional management was very high in a range of various medical workers. Sections such as "matters that require attention, a characteristic in the nourishment management", "dysphagia ", and "a nourishment management method" were considered useful by these workers. The nutritional evaluation of patients discharged may be difficult; therefore, information from reports on nutritional management may help to make a more informed decision on future nutritional management.
