What you'll learn

Best treatment outcomes and regaining the past health is the goal of the health professionals as well as diseased patients. This may be obtained by medicines, medical equipment, exercise, mental health, nutrition etc. Apart from the treatment provided by health care professionals, nutrition also plays and integral part in the early recovery of the patient. Optimal nutrition is important for the patients who are hospitalized to facilitate better outcomes. Lack of appropriate nutrition may lead to improper wound healing, increased duration of hospital stay, impaired immune function, increased septic conditions which ultimately lead to increased mortality and morbidities.read more »»

The same optimal nutrition is required when the patient is discharged and sent home. In-home nutrition also plays an important role in preventing the readmission of the patient within a short period of discharge. Transition from hospital to in-home nutrition therapy plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of the patient.

Transition phase is the subsequent part of the stabilization phase and usually lasts for 2-3 days. The transition phase is intended to ensure that the patient is clinically stable and can tolerate an increased energy and protein intake. Transition phase is followed by rehabilitation phase. The aim is to promote rapid weight gain, stimulate emotional and physical development and prepare the patient for normal nutrition at home.
