Abstract: Background: Nutritional anemia is a common condition among hospitalized patients, requiring a multidisciplinary approach for effective management. This study aimed to assess the impact of collaboration between clinical nutritionists, pharmacists, and laboratory technicians in managing nutritional anemia in a tertiary hospital.

Methods: A total of 120 hospitalized patients diagnosed with nutritional anemia received individualized nutritional plans, pharmacological interventions, and regular laboratory monitoring. Key hematological parameters were measured at baseline and discharge to assess the effectiveness of the intervention. Patient compliance with dietary and medication recommendations was also monitored.

Results: Significant improvements were observed in hemoglobin, serum iron, ferritin, and vitamin B12 levels (p < 0.001). Anemia was resolved in 75% of patients by discharge, with these patients experiencing shorter hospital stays. High adherence to nutritional and pharmacological interventions contributed to these positive outcomes.

Conclusion: A multidisciplinary approach involving clinical nutrition, pharmacy, and laboratory collaboration significantly improves the management of nutritional anemia in hospitalized patients. This model of care reduces anemia and shortens hospital stays, highlighting the value of coordinated care.
