Best Experts in Diet and Nutrition
Eating healthy, developing habits like physical activity and a healthy sleep routine is good for our health. We are well aware of the importance of healthy eating and physical activity, but what we aren't aware of is the most precise and accurate way of adopting such habits. You may have plenty of questions regarding your diet and lifestyle, but don’t worry, our qualified and experienced dieticians will assist you in your health journey.
Nutrition is a vital factor in healthcare. Proper nutrition is essential for improving the health condition of patients who are suffering from a wide range of diseases and disorders. They can improve their health and quality of life through Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT). Our trained dieticians take care of patients with MNT intervention by counselling both in-patients and out-patients about their eating habits and the importance of lifestyle and behavioral changes, which impact their health and well-being.
Medical Nutrition Therapy
Our dieticians perform complete nutrition assessments and evaluations of individuals to determine nutrition diagnosis. They devise a plan and implement nutrition intervention through nutrition best practice guidelines. They also monitor and evaluate the progress of an individual over follow-up visits and consultations with dieticians.

Procedure
Nutritionists help identify the problems and needs related to nutrition during the interaction, nutrition assessment and evaluation.
Dieticians, after identifying the nutritional gaps and nutritional goals based on set parameters, approach the problems and needs related to nutrition.
A nutritional plan is formulated based on the goals and needs of an individual– and it is approached with measurable, specific and time-bound parameters.
On a designated charting form, plans related to nutrition are recorded by professional nutritionists. All initial nutrition care plans are reviewed and care plan team members complete the care plan. Nutrition professionals and care plan team members maintain the nutrition care plans.
Nutrition care planners, nutritionists and other care plan team members meet each patient and then communicate with them about the problems related to nutrition and the patient’s needs and also about their professional approach and goals. After communicating with the patients and their attendants, nutritionists integrate their goals and plans into the comprehensive nutrition care plan. These plans are prepared by interdisciplinary team members.
Nutrition care plans are reviewed and updated if a substantial change in the nutrition-related condition happens. Alterations to the comprehensive care plan are made and signed by the dietician who is in charge – whenever necessary recommendation is done. Dieticians implement any changes made to the overall care plan (order lists, diet changes) in the Dietetics and Nutrition Department. Anything related to the patient’s nutrition including the requirements, approaches and goals and monitoring methods – all are documented.

Our Process Sheet
We bring innovation to work when it comes to identifying and helping patients during their stay at the hospital. Some of the steps we take to care for patients vulnerable to undernourishment are:
- Prescribing and providing nutritional supplements in tasty drinks.
- Dietitians check patients during the time of serving or eating a meal to ask if any help is required and to assist in feeding, if necessary.
- A personalised record chart is used to keep track of meals and supplements provided to the patient. The amount of meal taken is explicitly mentioned (all, half or nothing), and if it is lesser than directed by the dietician, then it is immediately brought to their notice.
- We encourage cooks to visit the wards on a random basis, talking to the patients and understanding their needs better, and of course, serving better.
- If the patient has not found anything to his liking in the current menu, he/she can opt for the lighter menu choices or request for food that they like, which has to be approved by the dietician.
