Implementation of a dietitian-led enteral nutrition support clinic results in quality improvement, reduced readmissions, and cost savings.

Background: Enteral access device malfunction and breakage results in significant morbidity and healthcare cost. In many healthcare systems, enteral nutrition care is fragmented and inefficient. We describe the development and validation of an enteral nutrition support clinic (NSC) with a focus on prevention of enteral access complications.

The cancer psychosocial care matrix: a community-derived evaluative tool for designing quality psychosocial cancer care delivery.

Objective: Although the Institute of Medicine provided a vision for effective psychosocial care for cancer survivors, limited guidance exists regarding the essential components of comprehensive care or progressive steps for implementing each component. This paper describes the development of a unique tool for assessing capacity to provide quality psychosocial care to cancer survivors and the results of the first implementation of this tool in community settings.

Methods: The psychosocial working group of the National Cancer Institute Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP) developed the Cancer Psychosocial Care Matrix assessment tool.
