Improvement in nutrition care practices is needed to support the timely detection and treatment of malnutrition in acute care. The Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care (INPAC) algorithm provides guidance on improved care processes. This presentation will provide an overview of key learnings from the More-2-Eat project where INPAC was implemented in five diverse medical units across Canada. Highlights include key strategies for embedding practice change. Advice on how to change behaviour and make change sustainable is provided by a More-2-Eat champion. The INPAC virtual toolkit to be located on the Canadian Malnutrition Task Force website is introduced. This toolkit supports others with improving nutrition care practices in their setting.
