Clinical and Economic Outcomes of Nutrition Interventions Across the Continuum of Care

Optimal nutrition across the continuum of care plays a key role in the short- and long-term clinical and economic outcomes of patients. Nutrition interventions have the potential to provide cost-effective preventive care and treatment measures. However, limited data exists on the economics and impact evaluations of these interventions.

On March 13, 2014, nutrition and health system researchers and practitioners, economists and policymakers will gather to discuss emerging research on nutrition health economics, the role of nutrition interventions across the continuum of care, and how nutrition can affect healthcare costs. The conference is presented jointly by the Abbott Nutrition Health Institute, The Sackler Institute for Nutrition Science, and the New York Academy of Sciences.
