Brief Summary
Internal medicine resident physicians were provided an ipod with the EN application to assist them in choosing EN formulas for patients during their ICU rotation. The primary outcome was improved initiation of EN within 24 hours of admission. Secondary outcomes include, time to initiate EN, goal calories reached, infections rates, length of stay, mortality, and concordance with clinical guidelines.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The primary outcome was improved initiation of EN within 24 hours of admission
percent of patients with enteral nutrition ordered within 24 hours of admit compared to all patients admitted
The time frame does involve a change in practice. The change is introduction of a smart app- 12 months prior to the smart device being used in the ICU by residents and 12 months during which the smart application was use by the ICU residents
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Total time to initiate EN
The time frame does involve a change in practice. The change is introduction of a smart app- 12 months prior to the smart device being used in the ICU by residents and 12 months during which the smart application was use by the ICU residents
Percent of goal calories received prior to discharge from ICU
The time frame does involve a change in practice. The change is introduction of a smart app- 12 months prior to the smart device being used in the ICU by residents and 12 months during which the smart application was use by the ICU residents
Study Arms (2)
Pre- Application
Patients admitted prior to use of tube feeding application
Post- Application
Patients admitted when tube feeding application was being used.
Interventions
A smart device application was developed and used to help residents determine the best enteral nutrition prescription for patients admitted to the ICU
