MQii
Featured in Society of Hospital Medicine’s
The Hospitalist
The Society of
Hospital Medicine (SHM) recently featured the MQii
Toolkit in its newsmagazine, The
Hospitalist. The article, “Addressing
Malnutrition and Improving Performance,” discusses
the development of the MQii Toolkit and the role
that hospitalists can play in supporting
malnutrition quality improvement. Hospitalists
particularly have an opportunity to partner with
dietitians to support more effective malnutrition
identification, treatment, and diagnoses.
You can view the article here.
Feel free to share this with hospitalists in your
facility to encourage them to get involved in your
malnutrition quality improvement effort and help
champion your project internally!
