Hospital nutritional screening management
Free tool to implement the internationally validated NRS-2002 protocol. Identify nutritional risk in minutes and systematically monitor your hospitalized adult patients.
Why this tool exists
Malnutrition in hospitalized adult patients is a significant problem affecting 15% to 50% of admissions according to international studies. This condition not only impacts the patient's recovery, but is also associated with longer hospital stays and poorer prognosis.
Traditional nutritional screening tools, while effective, are complex and consume valuable medical staff time. Some require up to 15 minutes per patient and multiple evaluators, making their systematic application difficult in the fast-paced hospital environment. This complexity leads to many at-risk patients not being identified in time.
NRS-2002 was specifically designed to solve this problem: a 4-item assessment that takes less than 2 minutes, can be performed by a single professional at patient admission, and has shown significant correlation with malnutrition and prolonged hospital stay. This application digitizes that protocol, adding automatic follow-up alerts, real-time metrics, and management tools that make nutritional screening a systematic and sustainable process.

Patient admission
Quick registration with basic data
Ex: Juan Perez, 68 years old, admitted to Room 204 for community-acquired pneumonia.
Nutritional screening
NRS-2002 assessment in less than 2 minutes
Ex: Score: 3 points (Medium Risk) — Underlying disease + reduced intake in recent days.
Risk-based intervention
Automatic recommendations based on risk level
Ex: System suggests: Nutritional monitoring 2 times per week + weight record every 3 days.
Follow-up and analysis
Continuous monitoring and data for evidence
Ex: Day 5: New scheduled evaluation. Stable weight, score drops to 1. Nutritional discharge.

Backed by published research
The NRS-2002 protocol was developed and validated by Kondrup et al. and published in Clinical Nutrition. It is a nutritional screening tool designed for hospitalized adult patients, evaluated in multiple international studies that demonstrated its applicability and clinical validity.
The results showed that NRS-2002 could be successfully applied in the vast majority of patients. Studies found a significant correlation between high-risk scores and low body mass index, as well as an association with prolonged hospital stay and increased morbidity. The tool has been validated for identifying vulnerable populations in hospital settings.
The simplicity of the protocol—an initial screening of 4 questions followed by a final evaluation when indicated—was highlighted as a key advantage over more complex previous tools. This has allowed NRS-2002 to be adopted as the standard for hospital nutritional screening in multiple international institutions.
“NRS-2002 is a validated screening tool that identifies nutritional risk in hospitalized adult patients using a systematic two-phase approach, correlating significantly with clinical outcomes and length of hospital stay.”

Healthcare professionals' experiences
What medical teams using NRS-2002 say
Implementar NRS-2002 en nuestro sector nos permitio estandarizar el screening nutricional. Lo que antes dependia de la iniciativa individual de cada medico ahora es un proceso sistematico que no se nos escapa ningun paciente.”

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about NRS-2002
NRS-2002 (Nutritional Risk Screening 2002) is a nutritional screening tool developed specifically for hospitalized adult patients. It was validated in a study published in Clinical Nutrition, where it demonstrated a significant correlation with malnutrition and prolonged hospital stay.
A complete NRS-2002 evaluation takes less than 2 minutes per patient. The protocol was specifically designed to be quick and applicable at admission without delaying other admission processes.
Yes. The application uses end-to-end encryption, secure authentication via OAuth 2.0, and stores data on servers with security certifications. All patient data is protected according to industry best practices for health data.
Yes. The platform is designed to manage multiple sectors within the same hospital (for example, Medical Ward and ICU), as well as multiple hospitals. Users can smoothly switch between sectors and administrators have access to comparative metrics.
The system displays a persistent banner on the dashboard that lists all patients with pending evaluations. This banner cannot be closed until the evaluations are completed. Additionally, automatic weekly reminders are generated for re-screening of medium and high-risk patients.
Yes. Administrators can export data in CSV or PDF format. The data can be used for epidemiological analysis, academic publications, and quality reports. Exported information can be anonymized according to each institution's requirements.
The interface was designed to be intuitive and require minimal training. Most teams adopt the tool in less than a week. Additionally, we have complete documentation and support available to answer any questions.
Data remains securely stored and can be exported at any time. If you decide to discontinue use, you can request a complete export of all your institution's information before closing the account.
The platform includes predefined roles (Administrator, Physician, Nursing, Nutrition) with specific permissions for each. Administrators can assign the most appropriate role for each team member according to their responsibilities.
