Included: all patients who were identified as high risk of malnutrition following nutritional screening or not screened are included, except those who are for palliative care at any point.
Excluded: patients who were identified to not be high risk of malnutrition following nutritional screening and patients where it is decided they are for palliative care at any point (either within 72h or by discharge) are excluded from this indicator
Numerator = the number of patients who were seen by a dietitian by discharge.
Denominator = all the applicable patients in the cohort. Patients who were applicable but did not see a dietitian are included in the denominator.
To calculate the numerator, count the number of patients for whom a date is given for when they saw a dietitian (Q 6.6.1).
