Malnutrition in healthcare: treatment pays off

It is my pleasure to share English version of the health economic analysis of malnutrition in the Netherlands dd. June 19.2024.

In fact, it is pan-European health economic model, which can be adjusted to other countries, but the model also has possibilities for finetuning to specific subpopulations and settings: e.g. oncology, paediatric population, ICU and rehabilitation setting.

This study highlights the importance of a proactive approach to treating of malnutrition in all healthcare sectors, from hospital to nursing home/care home and in the elderly living at home with and without home care. Implementing dietary treatment with the use of oral nutritional supplements when necessary can not only improve the health and wellbeing of patients, but also offers a significant economic benefit to society
