Covid-19 Care Pathway
As the first Covid-19 patients are starting to be discharged from hospital wards, these patients are being directed towards dietitians to begin their recovery phase. The information these discharged patients receive in terms of nutritional guidance in their home-setting is often limited.
|
|
|
|
As dietitians are expected to support those discharged from hospital after Covid-19, it is important there are clear guidelines and a care pathway in place. Based on the available literature and insights gathered from these patients’ first experiences in their recovery phase, Diëtheek has created the Nutrition during the recovery of Covid-19 care pathway.
These guidelines are intended for all dietitians working in the primary healthcare setting and who are managing this patient group.

Putting our food systems on a sustainable path also brings new opportunities for operators in the food value chain. New technologies and scientific discoveries, combined with increasing public awareness and demand for sustainable food, will benefit all stakeholders.
