AI-Based Malnutrition Screening: Validation and Implementation in Hospitals

Wednesday October 7, 2026 at 2pm-3pm ET / 11am-12pm PT

This webinar is eligible for 1.0 CPEU (CDR approved).

Hospital malnutrition is widespread, underdiagnosed, and costly, contributing to higher morbidity, mortality, and longer length of stay. So why, after decades of screening-related initiatives, do many patients still fall through the cracks?

This webinar starts with the history of malnutrition screening in US hospitals to unpack what has worked and what hasn't. Then we'll turn to the research behind one new solution: AI-based screening utilizing EHR data that runs daily for every patient. We'll walk through a peer-reviewed validation study comparing an AI screening model versus the nurse-administered malnutrition screening tool at a large academic medical center, drawing on years of retrospective data across a massive inpatient population. We'll close with real-world case studies showing financial and clinical outcomes impact, and a practical look at what it actually takes to integrate AI screening into clinical nutrition workflows.
