Brief Summary

The prevalence of malnutrition in hospital is very high (30 percent) with major consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality, generating significant health care costs. The positive impact of its support is demonstrated. The HAS (French High Sanitary Authority) recommends a screening of all adult hospitalized in the first 48 hours, with no consensus regarding the organization of screening within care services. Various strategies have been implemented. Although this screening is part of the nursing role, old and recent studies show that it is not done systematically and nutritional disorders are largely under-diagnosed and therefore untreated. The investigators assume that an organization of screening for eating disorders, based on a caregiver dedicated to this activity, improves the indicator IPAQSS (Indicateurs Pour l'Amélioration de la Qualité et de la Sécurité des Soins) which is an indicator for the improvement of the quality and security of care) Screening indicator of nutritional disorders Level 3, compared to an organization "classic" involving the care teams in their entirety. This indicator reflects the care system performance. In this study, patients will have no intervention. Only the organization of the care staff will be adapted but with no changes on the care of patients?
