Malnutrition Quality

The Malnutrition Quality Improvement Initiative (MQii) is a multi-year effort designed to help your organization improve malnutrition care and subsequently achieve better outcomes. The primary goal is to advance evidence-based, high-quality, patient-driven care for hospitalized older adults who are malnourished or at-risk for malnutrition. 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. DMT supports the MQii.

Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQMs) - eCQMs use data from electronic health records and/or health information technology systems to measure health care quality. The MQii eCQMs were developed by Avalere Health and are stewarded by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Global Malnutrition Composite Score - consists of 4 quality measures centered on critical steps for malnutrition risk identification, diagnosis, and treatment in the hospital and DMT is advocating for its endorsement.
