Brief Summary
Due to longer life expectancy, age-related changes and problems become more significant. The aging process is associated with loss of function and reduced performance. Age-related physiological changes in the regulation of nutrition intake and in the gastro-intestinal tract lead to deterioration of the nutritional status. Deterioration of the health status and of nutritional intake is further associated with chronic malnutrition, impaired quality of life, increased morbidity, mortality and long-term care. In order to ensure optimal nutritional care of nursing home residents and therefore have a lasting positive affect on their quality of life, morbidity and mortality, it is necessary:
- to collect data on the quality of nutritional care in nursing homes by means of a simple method that requires no specialization in data acquisition,
- to acquire knowledge on the prevalence of risk factors of malnutrition in nursing home residents in general and on individual nursing units, also in conjunction with the outcome after six months, and to forward the same to the individual nursing units,
- to allow comparison with other facilities (with similar profile) with the help of a benchmarking system,
- to assess the effectiveness of introduced changes in terms of quality management and quality improvement.
