Abstract :Background & Aim: An optimal nutritional care process with costs that contribute to the sustainability of hospitals, contributes to reduce the
complications associated with states of malnutrition in oncological pathologies.
Methods: We analyzed the nutritional care costs of 471 patients with stomach cancer pathologies 39.5%, followed by colon cancer 37.98%,
and rectal cancer 23.79%, in order to know the real cost caused by applying the methodology of cost based on time invested per activity
(TDABC).
Results: In the ADHD analysis, it was shown that a nutritional intervention model favors the control of costs and opportunities for
improvement, actively involving physicians, clinical teams and administrative staff in charge of the cycle of care, allowing a net profit of 3.7%
to be established.
Conclusions: It was found that a nutritional care process based on time-driven activities optimizes care times and generates a positive net
profit as part of comprehensive care.
