When hospitals talk about 📉 readmissions, nutrition is often missing from the conversation.

Yet individualized nutrition therapy has been shown to 📉 nonelective readmissions by ~25–35% across multiple trials.

Ensure your high risk patients are well nourished!

A patient can have obesity.

A patient can have severe muscle loss.

Both statements can be true.

That's why diagnosing malnutrition requires looking beyond the scale.

Personalized nutrition isn't about starting nutrition and following up in a week. 

It's measuring energy expenditure when possible, recognizing physiologic phases, and adjusting nutrition as the patient changes, not forcing every patient into the same protocol.

Nutrition is a science.

Inpatient nutrition requires knowledge, nuance, and close monitoring.

💪Registered Dietitians are the perfect people for the job!

When sending patients home on EN it’s so easy to just continue what they are receiving inpatient. Consideration for usual long term nutrition, such as fiber intake, needs to be considered. Unless contraindicated, no patient should go home with fiber-free formulas for long term nutrition. #WhatRDsDo

The evidence for nutrition support teams and RD-led home enteral nutrition clinics exists. What's missing is staffing, infrastructure, and institutional will.

This is a policy moment, not just a clinical one.

How is your institution handling feeding tube discharge? 👇

Not happy about this, but glad to see it’s not just dietetics where this has happened. The amount of time spent at the computer vs with the patient/care team in learning is scary. #WhatRDsDo

More evidence that our overly restrictive hospital diets could actually be causing harm. There aren’t many interventions out there that can improve both clinical AND patient satisfaction outcomes quite like a cup of morning joe! ☕️

RCT: Patients with #AFib who continued their usual caffeinated coffee intake after cardioversion experienced less recurrence of AF or atrial flutter compared to those who abstained from coffee and caffeine.

In <2 months our team of 4 #dietitians have placed 42 feeding tubes, several avoiding 🫁

Our numbers are increasing & the RDs continue to make a significant impact on patient experience, safety and outcomes!

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.

Can we keep up with the times?

AI tech can help improve patient engagement in their nutrition care. Again, not replacing the dietitian, but rather providing tools for the patient to take ownership of their care and provide data for a full assessment. #WhatRDsDo

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
One thing I’m learning this week is AI is NOT taking our jobs.

#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!

#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…

Over and over we keep hearing that #parenteralnutrition is:
✅Safe
✅effective

Excited to see Becky Brehob-Buckner, RD our ICU dietician who works with our hepatic failure and transplant patients speaking on nutritional challenges in acute liver failure. #SCCM2025 #PedsICU (yes I’m running all over the place)

Hearing from Peds #dietitian that tube placements are often resisted in kids. We see this in the adult world as well! Good education for patients (parents) around the benefits of EN vs PN is important! Dietitian need the time to discuss this with patients. #ICUNutrition #SCCM2025 #WhatRDsDo
