Summary

The framework for Pediatric Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care (P-INPAC) was developed by the Canadian Malnutrition Task Force (CMTF); however, it has not been implemented in a research setting. The framework by CMTF for Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care (INPAC) in adults was also implemented in the "More-2-Eat" project which led to development of best practices in nutritional culture of the hospitals. Therefore, we intend to undertake this feasibility project at 3-sites to train staff and evaluate the implementation of P-INPAC components as part of routine healthcare procedure.

Pediatric Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care Pathway (P-INPAC)

The pediatric working group of Canadian Malnutrition Task Force has developed an evidence-informed algorithm named the Pediatric Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care (P-INPAC). The P-INPAC outlines a process to improve nutrition care by: 1. implementing nutrition screening at point-of-admission 2. introducing standard care measures to prevent the development of malnutrition in children admitted with normal nutrition status, including standardizing the process of monitoring food intake early and systematically to identify when standard care measures are not sufficient 3. ensuring the moderately and severely malnourished patients receive timely specialized care in the form of a comprehensive assessment and treatment; and 4. ensuring moderately and severely malnourished patients receive adequate post discharge follow-up and nutrition care. In this pilot study, we will be implementing the first two steps of P-INPAC only (screening and assessment).
