Morrison Healthcare’s MyMalnutrition Tools tracks each patient identified as malnourished upon admission, ensuring early identification and intervention, which is pivotal in improving patient outcomes such as decreased length of stay and reduced readmissions.
This sophisticated software synergizes patient data with a targeted care model. It’s a strategic asset that elevates the standards of care and drives financial performance.
Morrison Healthcare supports an acute care facility in Florida with an average daily census of 140 to assess nutrition risks and optimize patient outcomes with proven processes and tools designed to increase hospital reimbursements and decrease average length of stay.
Malnutrition is a highly preventable condition that does not strike communities evenly. Hospitals must be aware of their community’s risk factors and how unidentified malnutrition impacts healthcare outcomes.
