Advantages of specialised nutrition management from APST

With APST’s nutrition management service, patients receive the nutritional aids prescribed at their doctor’s appointment delivered to their home without having to visit a pharmacy themselves. The supply is processed on the same day by the nutritional therapist cooperating with APST. Thanks to the nutritional therapists’ specialization in the APST’s patient groups, the nutritional aids are always in stock or can be delivered immediately. Nutritional aids that have already been prescribed can be conveniently reordered by telephone.

Improving the prevention and treatment of malnutrition and unwanted weight loss
APST offers a care concept for optimised prevention and treatment of unwanted weight loss and malnutrition. The electronic patient self-assessment and documentation of nutrition therapy enable structured and standardised information for the care network. The provision of various medical parameters, including the body mass index, in the electronic care record creates an important basis for effective nutrition management.

Electronic care file
On the portal Ambulanzpartner.de, patients, nutritional therapists, and doctors can view an overview of current and past nutritional support in the form of an electronic care file. In addition, they can confidentially evaluate nutritional aids and services and contribute to improving nutritional therapy.
