In this episode, we’re breaking down the upcoming transition to ICD-11 and what it means for documenting and diagnosing adult malnutrition, soon to be termed undernutrition, beginning in 2027.

Developed by the World Health Organization, ICD codes shape how conditions are defined, documented, and reimbursed worldwide. With ICD-11, adult undernutrition will align with the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) framework, meaning clinicians and organizations need to start preparing now, including EMR updates in 2026.

Joining us is Stacy Pelekhaty from the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center. We discuss what’s changing, documentation and reimbursement implications, practical preparation steps, and how this shift strengthens the value of nutrition care.

Feeding critically ill patients is anything but simple. Between proning, sedation, procedures, and constant interruptions, nutrition support in the ICU often falls short, despite strong evidence and best intentions.

In our latest DNS Podcast episode, Christina Rollins is joined by Susy Cohen, a critical care dietitian who has led measurable improvements in enteral and parenteral nutrition through practical, protocol-driven, interdisciplinary approaches.

🎙️ In this episode, we discuss:
• Feeding prone patients
• Early enteral nutrition for intubated patients
• Rate-based feeding to improve adequacy
• Collaborating with pharmacy to ensure appropriate PN use

If you work in critical care nutrition—or want strategies that actually work at the bedside—this episode is for you.
