“… 63 Nevertheless, leading experts in the field have pointed out that currently available EHR systems lack the functionality to deliver PN safely and optimally across the entire continuum of care. 64 , 65 The primary problem is that though EHRs are usually functional within one institution, as soon as several institutions are involved an interface problem arises. This aspect is particularly relevant to the care of long-term PN patients who are moving from a hospital either to their home or to alternative care settings (and vice versa).…”

Purpose This article is based on presentations and discussions held at the International Safety and Quality of Parenteral Nutrition (PN) Summit (held November 8-10, 2021, at Charleston, SC, and Bad Homburg, Germany) and aims to raise awareness concerning unresolved issues associated with the PN process and potential future directions, including a greater emphasis on patients’ perspectives and the role of patient support. Summary Ensuring that every patient in need receives adequate PN support remains challenging. It is important to have a standardized approach to identify nutritional risk and requirements using validated nutritional screening and assessment tools. Gaps between optimal and actual clinical practices need to be identified and closed, and responsibilities in the nutrition support team clarified. Use of modern technology opens up opportunities to decrease workloads or liberate resources, allowing a more personalized care approach. Patient-centered care has gained in importance and is an emerging topic within clinical nutrition, in part because patients often have different priorities and concerns than healthcare professionals. Regular assessment of health-related quality of life, functional outcomes, and/or overall patient well-being should all be performed for PN patients. This will generate patient-centric data, which should be integrated into care plans. Finally, communication and patient education are prerequisites for patients’ commitment to health and for fostering adherence to PN regimes. Conclusion Moving closer to optimal nutritional care requires input from healthcare professionals and patients. Patient-centered care and greater emphasis on patient perspectives and priorities within clinical nutrition are essential to help further improve clinical nutrition.
