Improving anthropometric measurements in hospitalized children: A quality-improvement project

CONCLUSION: Documentation of anthropometrics on admission substantially improved after establishing multidisciplinary champion teams. Goal rate (80%) was achieved within 26 months for all anthropometrics in the surgical unit and for weight in the cardiac unit. Improved documentation rates led to significant increase in identification of patients at malnutrition (undernutrition) risk.PMID:38153693 | DOI:10.1002/ncp.11112
