Transposition dans les unités de soin des recommandations de bonne pratique de la Haute Autorité de santé sur le diagnostic de la dénutrition de l’enfant, de l’adulte et de la personne gée

The French ministry of health and the French federation of nutrition published in 2019 and 2021 updated clinical recommendations around nutritional status assessment in children, adults and elderly people. New definitions of undernutrition were produced based on new criteria and/or new thresholds. The challenge now is to engage with healthcare professionals to implement these into their daily practice. This practical implementation guide uses the established implementation model Pronovost to help implementing these evidence-based clinical recommendations into clinical practice. The Pronovost implementation model of evidence into practice allowed us to provide a practical framework with associated documents and tools to facilitate implementation of these clinical recommendations into healthcare professional practice. The paper is structured around the four steps of the Pronovost model: summary of the evidence; identification of local barriers to implementation; measurement of performance; ensuring all patients receive the intervention. Relevant checklists for implementation and compliance monitoring are proposed, in addition to tables outlining professional respective responsibilities and tasks. Implementation science models like the Pronovost model help implementing clinical recommendations into clinical practices.
