Scientific conclusions about increasing the
effectiveness of health services and increasing adequate nutritional practices,
reducing preventable diseases, disabilities and early deaths, and providing
adequate and balanced nutritional support for optimal body function maintenance
have been increasingly being introduced and accepted in recent years. In order
to provide nutritional support services for our patients in this regard, we
established the Nutrition Support Unit on October 2010 in accordance with the
General Regulation on the Safe Practice Guide for Total Parenteral Nutrition
No. 24718 dated 17.06.2010 by the Ministry of Health Treatment Services General
Directorate.
The purpose of the Nutritional
Support Unit is to evaluate nutritionally all patients who are hospitalized, to
provide nutritional support treatments for patients who do not have the
nutritional needs of natural or acquired nutritional needs, to provide proper
use of enteral and parenteral nutritional products for their purposes and to
provide education for the elimination of application errors.
Our unit implements the
Nutrition Risk Scanning (NRS 2002 form) for every patient who falls outside of
the day-to-day hospitalizations. It assesses malnutrition of patients. Our unit
also evaluates the patient with the request of consultation of the physician
and forms a treatment plan. Until the patient is discharged or the indication
for nutritional support is followed from unit to unit. All new inpatient and
pre-hospitalized patients are evaluated on a visit and the treatment plan is
changed if necessary. Our unit is also involved in the planning and procurement
of enteral and parenteral products according to rational drug regulation. All
healthcare personnel in the clinics are trained on the application of enteral
and parenteral nutrition during certain periods. We also represent our hospital
in national and international meetings on nutrition and present our scientific
studies. Hospital administrators, branch specialists, pharmacists, dietitians
and nurses work in the nutrition support committee which constitutes the
nutritional support unit team which has been operating for five years in our
hospital.
