See what others have to say:
ASPEN is a thriving scientific and academic society that is engaged in research, education, and outreach to prevent and treat malnutrition, provide EN and PN, and advocates for needed support and resources for practitioners, patients, families, and caregivers.
ASPEN is an interprofessional organization that recognizes the contributions of all dietitians, physicians, pharmacists, nurses, advanced practice professionals, and others in the diagnosis and management of malnutrition, including EN or PN.
Dietitians will get more medical training, and physicians will get more nutrition training.
Incorporate age and disease-related sarcopenia/muscle failure into nutritional assessment and documentation for function of measures and outcomes.
ASPEN is universally recognized by medical professionals, the government, and the public as the authoritative source of information on nutrition support.
ASPEN IS a leader in global collaboration in addressing malnutrition support!
ASPEN will need to continue to adapt to the ever changing geopolitical environment and find ways to “do more with less resources!”
Develop one set of criteria for diagnosing malnutrition, instead of having two different sets of criteria.
See what others have to say:
Nutrition support and it’s practice will be integrated with training for all healthcare disciplines/professionals.
Embrace common global consensus criteria for the diagnosis of malnutrition.
Major challenge is participation in our cause by physicians!
Nutrition support will be recognized as a healthcare specialty.
