Funded Activity Summary

Protected mealtimes, where patient meals are protected from negative interruptions, is a systems approach to address the vast problem of in-hospital malnutrition. It aims to positively improve food intake at mealtimes, treating and preventing malnutrition. Observational studies have previously shown promising clinical outcomes, limited due to reports of barriers to implementation of the strategy. This is the first study internationally to implement protected mealtimes in subacute care.
