Increase in percentage of patients seen by dietetics within 48 hrs of referral
Development and implementation of standard electronic documentation for the assessment of patients’ nutritional status, within the Electronic Patient Record (EPR).
Automatic referrals and improved clinical decision support for staff managing patients who trigger as high risk on their Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) assessment.
For patients this means:
Faster treatment by a dietitian
Earlier discharge from hospital and less chance of readmission
No unnecessary appointments due to inappropriate referrals
As part of a new pilot we will be introducing text message appointment reminders and an online portal where patients can change and cancel appointments for Ophthalmology, ENT, Trauma & Orthopaedics, Paediatrics and Clinical Haematology departments. https://t.co/04skfh3rzJ
