Multi-site implementation of nutrition screening and diagnosis in medical care units: Success of the More-2-Eat project.

Background: Improving the detection and treatment of malnourished patients in hospital is needed to promote recovery.

Aim: To describe the change in rates of detection and triaging of care for malnourished patients in 5 hospitals that were implementing an evidence-based nutrition care algorithm. To demonstrate that following this algorithm leads to increased detection of malnutrition and increased treatment to mitigate this condition.
