AI models are only as good as the data that goes into them. Is #ICUNutrition behind by not having good documentation?

Nutrition interventions should be treated like medications - accountability for documentation.

The future I see for inpatient dietitians + AI is one where we can finally separate ourselves from the computer and spend more time at the bedside and with the patients who need us most. #WhatRDsDo #ICUNutrition

#Dietitians placing feeding tubes with image guided tech have resulted in:

👉Fewer trips to IR
👉Fewer x-rays
👉Quicker time to initiate EN

I am so proud of our team!

…maintaining competency can be tough for all nursing staff. A dedicated team helps keep skills sharp and boosts patient safety.

#WhatRDsDo: Place Feeding Tubes!

This week, we learned about image-guided feeding tube placement!

Involving #dietitians lets nursing focus on ⬆️-level tasks while RDs practice at their full scope. Image-guided tubes are SAFER, but…

Anyone interested in a Critical Care Nutrition KEG? Networking and knowledge sharing would be first priority along with submitting nutrition related proposal(s) for Congress sessions. Open to other ideas!
