Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Traditional meal service
TMS consists of three meals served by nutritional assistants throughout the day. Preference for dinner can be indicated in the morning by the individual patient from a menu list with predefined choices for meat, potatoes/rice/pasta and vegetables with various portion sizes.
Meal service
The type of meal service in the hospital (usual care)
FoodforCare
FfC consists of a 6-meals per day service. At bedside, patients are offered one or more small protein-rich dishes from a choice of 3. Nutritional assistants play a key role in recommending and delivering these protein-rich meals and assist patient in choosing the most optimal dish, based on the patient's nutrition order in the electronic patient record.
