Scottish Home Parenteral Nutrition Managed Clinical Network: coordination and standards
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 July 2008
Abstract
Home parenteral nutrition is required by patients with intestinal disease such that they are unable to maintain nutritional status or fluid volume without this treatment. A Managed Clinical Network has been established in Scotland. The aims of this multi-professional group are to ensure equity of access and that patients are managed according to nationally-agreed evidence-based procedures and protocols. The Clinical Standards Board for Scotland has provided support in preparing a quality-assurance framework to which the network must adhere.
