Canadians and health care decision makers are insisting on improved care that is evidence based. Dietitians use evidence in their own interactions with clients but may be thwarted with making change in the broader systems in which they work. They need to recognize and understand how the inter-related concepts of implementation science, change management and quality improvement provide strategies for making lasting change. With the development of easy to use screening tools, training and pathways of care, the identification of malnutrition in primary and acute care has grown. Learn from your colleagues how they have implemented nutrition risk screening and how they have made those changes stick. This session will allow you to identify key steps to initiate and sustain change in your primary, acute care or home care practice.
