Improving Nutrition Discharge Education for Caregivers of Adolescents with Eating Disorders at Seattle Children’s Hospital

A quality improvement project was conducted to update Seattle Children’s nutrition discharge education materials for caregivers of eating disorder patients. This involved conducting interviews with RDs to determine possible areas of improvement, and providing education, cultural relevance, and health literacy. Final deliverables included a YouTube video presentation for families highlighting key components of the refeeding process along with visual examples of meal components, portion sizes, and culturally diverse meal examples.
