NutriSource
The NutriSource project, carried out by dieticians in collaboration with the nursing teams on all our wards, aims to optimise nutritional care from the moment patients arrive and throughout their hospital stay.
In Switzerland, undernourishment in hospital patients affects the effectiveness and tolerance of care. It causes higher rates of post-operative complications and mortality, leads to a longer stay in hospital and increases the toxicity of certain treatments. It also reduces quality of life, increases the costs of care and has a significant negative effect on patient care.
This project is part of an approach that focuses on continuous improvement in the quality of care, while also encouraging greater interdisciplinary cooperation in the overall management of patients. All our hospitalised patients are now automatically screened on arrival.
By tackling undernourishment in a comprehensive and coordinated way using the NRS assessment during hospital admission, the Dietetics Department and the Clinique de La Source are demonstrating their commitment to providing optimal nutritional care for all patients.
