Parenteral nutrition and nutritional support in Veterans Administration Medical Centers. 1983

T O Lipman, and T O Munyer, and C Hall

Two surveys eliciting information regarding parenteral nutrition and nutritional support in Veterans Administration Medical Centers were performed in 1981. Of 133 answering Veterans Administration Medical Centers, 45% had nutritional support teams. Two-thirds of these nutritional support groups were reported to be active. If an attempt to assess the quality of these programs is made by establishing performance criteria, then 23 medical centers have active and well-functioning nutritional support programs.
