dietitian. All patients were at least 70 years old and determined to be at nutritional risk. The dietitian
gave each discharged patient three home visits within 8 weeks of discharge. Nutritional status was
measured using weight, muscle strength, and other measures. Adding a dietitian to the discharge team
did improve the nutritional status of geriatric patients
