Problem
Malnutrition in hospitalized patients often goes undiagnosed due to physicians not always recognizing the signs and dietitians not being able to make diagnoses. This leads to delayed treatment, longer hospital stays, increased costs, and a higher risk of mortality. Existing electronic health record (EHR) systems lack integrated tools to effectively identify and document malnutrition.
Solution
Junum provides MalnutritionCDS™, a clinical decision support solution that integrates directly into existing EHR workflows to improve the identification and documentation of malnutrition. The software delivers key nutrition insights directly to physicians, enabling earlier intervention and improved patient outcomes. Junum helps dietitians document clinical characteristics to support physicians’ diagnoses and visualizes the impact of nutrition interventions. By improving diagnosis rates, hospitals can optimize coding and reimbursement for malnutrition-related care.
Target Audience
Junum targets hospitals and healthcare systems aiming to improve malnutrition diagnosis rates, optimize revenue capture, and enhance patient care through better nutrition management.
