This working group evaluates how nutritional risk factors are incorporated into the surgical plan and identifies opportunities for enhancing pre- and post-operative feeding instructions to mitigate these risks. The group identifies barriers to providing a nutritional plan and explores ways to integrate nutritional intervention into the workflow based on a prioritization scheme that takes into account patient, disease, and hospital factors.
