Nutrition screening is conducted to identify patients at risk of malnutrition. However, this antecedent step of the nutrition care process would not be possible without the cooperation of our dear nurses. As mandated by the Department of Health (DOH) through AO 2019-0033, all patients admitted to the hospital must be screened by nurses to identify those who are nutritionally at risk, using validated nutrition screening tools.

On April 26, 2024, Ms. Rea R. Bacalso, RND (Nutritionist-Dietitian), had the opportunity to discuss the importance of nutrition screening with the SMCI nurses, as well as the details of the nutrition screening tool that will be adopted.

This implementation, with the cooperation of other healthcare professionals, aims to further improve the well-being of the patients.
