ic city network effectively reduces their operating costs (Orr, 1995).
Methods
A quantitative descriptive research method with critical review of English sci-
entific and professional literature was performed using the following databas-
es PubMed, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect and GoogleScholar. The keywords
we used were: nutrition support teams, nursing care, nutritional care. Litera-
ture inclusion criteria were articles published between 1995 and 2020, open and
free access and articles with clearly defined objectives and methods in Eng-
lish language. We reviewed 17 articles, the excluded ones that didn‘t match our
criteria. The literature search took place in March 2021. Data analyzed using a
content analysis method. We used a prizma methodological diagram (Figure
1) to show the course of the decision criteria for determining the suitability of
sources for inclusion in the literature review.

Results
The results of literature review are presented in Table 1. Literature review based
on keywords related to the implementation of nutritional support in social
care institutions. Nutrition support can be organised in different way. In so-
