Vars Research Award.&nbsp;The award honors any early career investigator who has submitted a top-scoring original&nbsp;abstract, and&nbsp;demonstrates excellence via a manuscript and oral presentation at the conference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Malnutrition&nbsp;can increase complications in hospitalized patients, Dr. Ponce said.&nbsp;Malnutrition happens when the body is deprived of\u202fvitamins, minerals and other nutrients it needs to maintain healthy tissues and organ function, according to Johns Hopkins University.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But the effect of malnutrition on clinical outcomes in those hospitalized&nbsp;with&nbsp;COVID-19 hadn&rsquo;t been studied.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That makes&nbsp;UNMC&rsquo;s research&nbsp;novel.&nbsp;But&nbsp;it&rsquo;s&nbsp;also&nbsp;meaningful&nbsp;in real-world&nbsp;applications for health care systems and the patients they serve, said Corrine Hanson, PhD, director of UNMC&rsquo;s&nbsp;division of&nbsp;medical&nbsp;nutrition&nbsp;education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hanson said the work of Dr. Ponce and her team&nbsp;demonstrates&nbsp;&#8220;the commitment of UNMC to creating a healthy future for all individuals.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Said&nbsp;Dr. Hanson,&nbsp;&#8220;Combined with the Nebraska Medicine malnutrition initiatives led by Megan Timmerman, the value of our joint mission statement and our dedication to extraordinary care is clear.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Timmerman, assistant professor of medical nutrition education&nbsp;and manager of nutrition care at Nebraska Medicine,&nbsp;said&nbsp;UNMC research has improved and influenced clinical care at Nebraska Medicine, and vice versa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A&nbsp;four-year effort,&nbsp;along&nbsp;with&nbsp;Margaret&nbsp;Rajnic&nbsp;from the&nbsp;clinical&nbsp;quality&nbsp;and&nbsp;patient&nbsp;safety&nbsp;team,&nbsp;has&nbsp;strengthened&nbsp;the early identification of patients with malnutrition at Nebraska Medicine, Timmerman said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a result, malnutrition&nbsp;diagnosis&nbsp;rates have increased by 12.9% and an additional critical care nutrition therapist has been added to the team, providing increased and consistent coverage for COVID-19 patients,&#8221; Timmerman said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a result of Ponce&rsquo;s research,&nbsp;Nebraska Medicine&nbsp;nutrition care, in collaboration with UNMC medical nutrition, has established best practice guidelines for staff who work with COVID-19 patients.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Collaborators&nbsp;included:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jana Ponce, PhD, Corrine Hanson, PhD, Megan Timmerman, Mariah Jackson, College of Allied Health Professions, Division of Medical Nutrition Education.

Ponce and Timmerman: Nebraska Medicine, Department of Pharmaceutical and Nutrition Care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jerrod Anzalone, biomedical informatics graduate program, data access\/program coordinator, Great Plains&nbsp;IDeA-CTR.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kristina Bailey, MD, associate professor of pulmonary, critical care and sleep, College of Medicine, Veterans Administration Nebraska-Iowa Health Systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Harlan Sayles, College of Public Health, Department of Biostatistics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We are Nebraska Medicine and UNMC.
