- Quick Tips for Commencing Inpatient Blended Tube Feeding

This 7-step checklist is recommended as a guideline to help hospital-based dietitians ensure that

homemade BTF can be safely administered to a hospitalised patient, in the absence of a local hospital

procedure.

The goal is to work through the checklist systematically with the relevant multidisciplinary team members,

and most importantly, the patient / guardian / carer.

If you are wanting to create a local procedure for inpatient use of homemade BTF, please refer to

"Inpatient BTF Procedure Development Guideline”.
