영양집중지원팀의 업무개선 활동의 효과 평가 = Evaluation of a Nutritional Support Team’s Impact on Treating Malnourished Patients

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Many studies have shown that malnourished patients face increased risks of complications and prolonged hospital visits compared with subjects who are not malnourished.
Therefore, it is essential to support adequate nutrition delivery to malnourished patients. A Nutritional Support Team(NST) can identify malnourished patients and support adequate nutrition solutions. NSTs are multi-disciplinary networks that include a patient’s physician, pharmacist,dietitian, and nurse. Our team devised an improvement activity plan to enhance the Nutritional Support Team at Chosun University Hospital from January to September 2011. To investigate the effect of our efforts, we retrospectively surveyed the electronic medical records of patients consulted by the Chosun NST. These patients experienced an increase in calories administered and improved overall nutritional health. Improved delivery operations from the Chosun NST remain to be devised to address unsatisfactory results for consulted patients from the Intensive Care and Newborn Units.
