title: eNutrition: An extension of teleintensive care.
abstract: The aim of this brief report was to introduce the term eNutrition and to describe our new initiatives expanding the traditional role of existing telemedicine systems to provide nutrition support services. This is especially useful at institutions that still do not have a physician or dietitian with specialized knowledge and clinical expertise in nutrition-related issues. We also describe details of the various components of our eNutrition program, including early assessments and optimal provision of enteral and parenteral nutrition, many of which can be used with minimal investment in computer software and hardware.
