Improving Health Equity through Quality: The Global Malnutrition Composite Score

ASPEN | Malnutrition Awareness Week™ Schedule (nutritioncare.org)

Malnutrition burdens healthcare systems and jeopardizes patient outcomes, yet it often goes unnoticed. The environment, policies, and community can influence malnutrition, making social determinants of health (SDOH) a key factor when evaluating it. The Global Malnutrition Composite Score (GMCS), the first nutrition-focused electronic clinical quality measure, places increased value on the importance of malnutrition care for acute care patients and has been identified as a key measure to improve rural health, SDOH, and food insecurity. This webinar will explore the GMCS and how it can help hospitals improve health equity and quality care.

Learning Objectives

1. Describe the GMCS and its application for quality improvement.
2. Assess the value of the GMCS selection as an eCQM and discuss barriers and opportunities to implementation.
3. Explain the impact Health Equity has in nutrition and dietetics practice and how the GMCS can support the hospital in addressing health equity.
