Implementation of P-INPAC (NCT06645639)

Towards Implementation of the Pediatric Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care Pathway (P-INPAC) - Pilot Study

πŸ”΅ Active, Not Recruiting Interventional Protocol πŸ“Š Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: The Hospital for Sick Children

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The framework for Pediatric Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care (P-INPAC) was developed by the Canadian Malnutrition Task Force (CMTF); however, it has not been implemented in a research setting. The framework by CMTF for Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care (INPAC) in adults was also implemented in the "More-2-Eat" project which led to development of best practices in nutritional culture of the hospitals. Therefore, we intend to undertake this feasibility project at 3-sites to train staff and evaluate the implementation of P-INPAC components as part of routine healthcare procedure.
