title: Quick Fix for Hospital-Acquired Malnutrition?
abstract: Hospital-acquired malnutrition is universally present across the globe. Little progress has been made on overcoming hospital-acquired malnutrition despite known presence for at least 40 years. Technologies and methods to deliver the recommended calories and protein are available in most healthcare settings. Despite this, inadequate nutrient delivery continues to be a problem. Correia and colleagues propose a simplified algorithm that assists clinicians in becoming aware of poor nutrient intake and suggest nutrition interventions.
