Free Screening Gap Analysis for Malnutrition Programs
Most malnourished inpatients are never diagnosed. The analysis reads the full record and counts the patients your screening missed while there’s still time to act.
The problem
Admission screening wasn’t built to catch it
The nurse-administered screen on day one reads a handful of fields, then never looks again. Meanwhile the evidence builds in places no screen checks: weight trending down, intake falling off, muscle wasting in the notes. Your dietitians could find these patients by digging through charts, but nobody staffs for that. The patient discharges undiagnosed and untreated.
The analysis
The full record, read the way your dietitians would read it
One historical extract of notes, labs, vitals, and weight records is all it takes. The analysis reads every chart in the sample, free text included, and flags likely-malnourished patients even when screening data is incomplete.
- The patients your screening missed
- The acuity that never made the chart
- The chart evidence behind each one
Your dietitians stop hunting and start at the assessment, working at the top of their license.
Illustrative output. The figures shown are examples; your report reflects your own data.
See the patients your screening missed
Free, no purchase commitment, and you keep the findings either way. If the gaps are material, we’ll show your team how Scout finds these patients every day, across the full census.
