Abstract

Community-dwelling, older adults have a high prevalence of nutrition risk but strategies to mitigate this risk are not routinely implemented. Our objective was to identify opportunities for the healthcare system and community organizations to combat nutrition risk in this population in the jurisdiction of Alberta, Canada. An intersectoral stakeholder group that included patient representatives was convened to share perspectives and experiences and to identify problems in need of solutions using a design thinking approach. Results: Two main themes emerged from the workshop: (1) lack of awareness and poor communication of the importance of nutrition risk between healthcare providers and from healthcare providers to patients and (2) the necessity to work in partnerships comprised of patients, community organizations, healthcare providers and the health system. Conclusion: Improving awareness, prevention and treatment of malnutrition in community-dwelling older adults requires intersectoral cooperation between patients, healthcare providers and community-based organizations.
