Abstract

Nutrition Screening (NS) and Nutrition Assessment (NA) are the initial steps in Nutrition Care Process (NCP). In 2000, the BNT format (Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital Nutrition Triage) was proposed and was widely
used in many hospitals for NS and NA in Thailand. Later, the BNT was updated and became the NT 2013 format in conformance with the Consensus Statement 2012 of A.S.P.E.N., ESPEN, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics on Identification of Adult Malnutrition. Recently, the Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Support of Thailand (SPENT) was supported by the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) to initiate “The Qualified Nutrition Support Hospital” project, to encourage the establishment of Nutrition Support Teams at various hospitals. Subsequently the National Health Security Organization (NHSO) began allowing hospitals to file claims for reimbursement for the cost of implementing the new Nutrition Care Process within the NT 2013 format. Also, as an endorsement of the NT 2013, a study by a group of investigators, reported by HITAP has recommended the NT format to be used for NS and NA in Thailand.
