We Need to FEED: Facilitating Enteral Education for Discharge

Aim: We need to FEED (Facilitating Enteral Education for Discharge) project aims to streamline and enhance the discharge process for pediatric patients with enteral nutrition (including G-tubes, J-tubes, GJ-tubes, and NG-tubes) and ultimately create enteral discharge protocol. The aim of the study is to describe the effectiveness of the discharge education program for children with enteral tubes on caregiver knowledge and determine the impact of the program on unplanned ER, Urgent care or clinic visits. By ensuring that all necessary supplies, orders, and follow-up appointments are in place prior to discharge, and by providing comprehensive education and support to parents, the project seeks to improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare utilization, enhance coordination and communication among healthcare providers.
