Spotlight honors Keith Miller, MD, FACS, Associate Professor of Surgery at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. Dr. Miller, who was one of the first Nestlé fellows, says nutrition support and metabolic response to insult impacts his patients’ outcomes after surgery. Because clinical nutrition touches every aspect of care, that it’s a natural process, he says it doesn’t get the attention it deserves. He feels that surgical residents have a genuine interest in clinical nutrition, an interest he didn’t feel his peers had when they were residents. He credits ASPEN and educators for sparking this interest.

The JPEN article discussed in this podcast highlights the POET program developed and implemented at Duke University to address the issue of preoperative malnutrition and its negative consequences. The paper’s author discusses the preliminary experience to efficiently screen patients for preoperative nutrition risk and proactively manage malnutrition before and after surgery. The POET team believes that programs such as this will improve nutrition screening, nutrition care and outcomes, along with significant cost savings due to the negative and costly effects of malnutrition.
