FOOD INSECURITY RESOURCES
We have compiled resources to support you and your colleagues in integrating food insecurity screening and interventions into your nutrition care process.
The Malnutrition Quality Improvement Initiative (MQii) is a multi-year effort that began in 2013 when a variety of stakeholder organizations began to highlight gaps in existing malnutrition care and the impact of these gaps on patient outcomes. Based on the results of subsequent literature reviews, landscape assessments, engagements with key stakeholders, and best practices research, the MQii was established in partnership with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Avalere Health, and other stakeholders providing guidance through key technical expert and advisory roles. This initiative seeks to advance evidence-based, high-quality patient-driven care for hospitalized adults who are malnourished or at risk for malnutrition.
310 sites have participated across 38 states as of Summer 2021.
The design and implementation of the MQii are based on several guiding principles. The guiding principles provide a snapshot of the overall intention of the MQii and should be used as a reference as sites employ different approaches to support the uptake of the clinical workflow and other components of the toolkit.
