Abstract |
Disease Related Malnutrition (DRM) is highly prevalent in Spanish hospitals. WHO estimates that 20-40% of health-associated expenses are lost due to inefficiency. Demonstration that DRM is a component of inefficiency and hiring a specialist physician for its detection and treatment is cost-effective. MATHERIAL AND METHODS Comparison between nutritional diagnosis and procedures detected and encoded at discharge using McNemar test. Recoding of 55 discharge reports including nutritional diagnoses and procedures. Determine changes on Case-Mix Index (IC), cost of procedure and cost procedure/GRD index. Comparison using Wilcoxon test. |
