Malnutrition Facts
Sodexo Seniors Client Newsletter Spring 2022
- Malnutrition can impact up to 50% of residents in senior living communities and dietitians are uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat this condition.
- Collaboration with an interdisciplinary team can ensure that all aspects of a resident’s needs are met and that the appropriate level of care is provided.
- In 2019, CMS rolled out a new payment model called PDPM that aims to better capture and reimburse based on a patient’s individual needs. With PDPM, dietitians are directly involved in the reimbursement that communities receive for short-term Medicare residents for services that include the treatment of malnutrition, obesity, chewing, and swallowing difficulties, and more.
