QPP Measure #USWR20

Nutritional Screening and Intervention Plan in Patients with Chronic Wounds and Ulcers

The percentage of patients aged 18 years and older with a diagnosis of a wound or ulcer of any type who undergo nutritional screening with a validated tool (such as the Nestlé MNA) within the 12-month reporting period, and for whom an appropriate nutritional intervention was ordered based on the results of the tool. Using the MNA Short Form algorithm, if a patient at risk of malnutrition has an MNA score of 8-11 and documented weight loss, the clinician would be provided with general treatment, monitoring or rescreening recommendations. These include: nutrition interventions (e.g. diet enhancement and oral supplementation of 400 kcal/d2), close weight monitoring, and a more in depth nutrition assessment. Malnourished patients with scores of 0-7 would be offered treatment with nutritional intervention (ONS 400-600 kcal/d2 and diet enhancement), close weight monitoring and a more in depth nutrition assessment. No specific products will be recommended as part of the measure.
