- Title
The importance of nutritional care.
- Authors
Wilson, R. C.
- Abstract
This article presents the author's opinion about the importance of nutrition to the health of everyone, especially those who use health and social care services. Studies indicate the negative financial effect that nutritional risk adds to the cost of treating patients in hospitals. The Council of Europe has passed a resolution that makes the delivery of adequate nutritional care a human rights issue. England requires all caregiving organizations to register with the Care Quality Commission.
