Implementing Pediatric Malnutrition Care Pathways: Lessons from Clinical Practice, Quality Improvement, and Informatics

Your Price

This session will explore the implementation of pediatric malnutrition care pathways, highlighting lessons from clinical practice, quality improvement, and informatics. Participants will follow a multi-year, multi-institutional, progressive approach to improving malnutrition identification, documentation, and reporting.

The session will review key initiatives including standardization of documentation practices, leadership engagement, and educational programs for dietitian teams. It will describe the design and implementation of EPIC-based flowsheets capturing malnutrition criteria, NFPE, and interventions, including strategies to link registered dietitian assessments with provider documentation to support accurate coding and reporting.

Potential informatics approaches to enhance workflow integration, data capture, and interdisciplinary collaboration will also be discussed. Practical applications will include barrier analysis using key driver and fishbone diagrams, selection of standardized screening tools, and implementation of instant-order nutrition risk referrals to streamline bedside workflow.

Attendees will gain insights into overcoming common challenges in pathway adoption, leveraging EHR tools for reporting, and optimizing interdisciplinary practices. This session is intended for dietitians, dietetic technicians, and healthcare professionals seeking actionable strategies to improve pediatric malnutrition assessment, documentation, and quality outcomes.
