Enteral Nutrition
At OSO Home Care, patients receiving enteral nutrition that has been ordered by a physician are monitored by clinical personnel. These clinical personnel include nurses and pharmacists who have been trained in providing enteral nutrition.
OSO Home Care has developed a clinical pathway whereby patients who are entered onto our service are initiated onto a proper enteral nutrition program, or the existing enteral nutrition program is evaluated. Our trained clinicians evaluate for the correctness in the type and amount of enteral nutrition that is being provided, including the daily calorie, protein and fluid intake that the patient requires.
Once the patient is receiving enteral nutrition, our clinicians monitor each patient’s progress and are available to provide recommendations in case the patient experiences problems such as weight gain/loss, GI side effects or other problems. Oso Home Care provides enteral nutrition services to all types of patients including pediatrics, adults, geriatrics, patients requiring enteral infusion pumps and patients requiring specialized feeding formulas.
