Abstract
Introduction: The management of nutritional diseases in the nosocomial context, especially malnutrition, has raised considerable concern. Objective: In this context, the multi-professional nutritional therapy team (MNTT) emerged, aiming to provide a prompt diagnosis and effective treatment for these conditions. Methods: To assess the benefits of implementing MNTT in hospital services, a review was conducted, gathering articles and legislation related to the proposed topic. The search terms used included “nutritional therapy,” “nutritional therapy costs,” “MNTT,” “multidisciplinary nutritional therapy team,” “enteral nutrition,” and “parenteral nutrition.” Discussion: The presence of MNTT leads to reduced mortality, shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, lower hospital expenses, and improved nutritional support for patients compared to services without MNTT. Conclusion: The multitude of benefits from investing in MNTT implementation is evident, as they play a fundamental role in diagnosing, treating, and primarily preventing nutritional diseases, ultimately resulting in better patient care.
