Patient complaints can highlight previously unidentified areas of concern. This study analyzed patient complaints related to nutrition issues experienced during their hospital stay. Of the 89 nutrition-related problems, 20% were very severe, including one that resulted in patient death. While the article does not report the overlap between patient- and staff-reported nutrition incidents, the patient complaints shine a light on areas for deeper investigation.
