ASPEN Survey of Parenteral Nutrition Access Issues: How the System Fails the Patient

The October 2024 podcast features Pharmacist and Professor emeritus, Dr. Jay Mirtallo from the Ohio State University and a Clinical Practice Specialist for ASPEN. Dr. Mirtallo shares the results of an influential patient-based survey of consumers on parenteral nutrition. He highlights PN access issues from the patient perspective ranging from product shortages to financial burdens and uniquely identifies unconsidered areas for improvement in the medical system to improve patient safety. He comments on action steps for all nutrition support clinicians including an emphasis on legislation to pass the medical nutrition therapy act allowing reimbursement for the role of the registered dietitian.
