Standard formulas of PN have been developed and provided to patients. Only few randomized controlled studies compared standardized vs individualized PN. Individually tailored PN, only if standard PN solutions do not meet patient's nutritional needs. ASPEN society recommends the use computerized prescribing. Technology has enabled the incorporation of medical guidelines in CDSSs. New approach: Comparison of patient's calculated nutritional needs with commercial available solutions.

Estimate of Macro and Micro Nutrient Needs for PN.
Estimation of macro and micro nutrient needs for PN by CDSS: amino acids, carbohydrates, lipid, electrolytes, energy and fluids.
Time frame: 0 months - 12 months
Estimate the difference between actual PN energy needs (kcal per day) and energy provided in the PN solutions available in the market (kcal per 100ml).
Compare Ready to Use PN solutions with patient's actual nutritional energy needs in order to customize PN for optimum nutrition outcome.
Time frame: 0 months - 12 months
Estimate the difference between actual PN needs and nutrient content of Ready to use Solution for PN available in the market.
Compare Ready to Use PN solutions on total grams of amino acids with patient's actual nutritional needs on total grams of amino acids in order to optimize patient's PN for better nutritional outcome.
Time frame: 0 months - 12 months
Estimate the difference between actual PN needs and nutrient content of Ready to use Solution for PN available in the market.
Compare Ready to Use PN solutions on total grams of fat with patient's actual nutritional needs on total grams of fat in order to optimize patient's PN for better nutritional outcome.
Time frame: 0 months - 12 months
Estimate the difference between actual PN needs and nutrient content of Ready to use Solution for PN available in the market.
Compare Ready to Use PN solutions on total grams of carbohydrates with patient's actual nutritional needs on total grams of carbohydrates in order to optimize patient's PN for better nutritional outcome.
Time frame: 0 months - 12 months
Difference of time spent on estimation of PN needs when conducted by hand and CDSS.
Compare time spent for a) calculation of nutritional needs, b) prescription and c) transcription by using CDSS or made by hand.
Time frame: 0 months - 12 months
