Description
These three authors have many years of clinical experience writing nutrition orders for diets and nutrition support. Research shows shortened timelines and improved patient care when RDs write the diet orders. The authors stress the importance of advanced clinical experience, appropriate training, and supervised experience to learn order writing. Their efforts are supported by many physicians across the U.S. who have seen the advantages of dietitian order writing in action. RD order writing increases job satisfaction, advances the level and scope of clinical dietetics practice, and improves patient care through more appropriate and responsive patient feeding. This book thoroughly looks at the research on the topic, implementation strategies, and how to approach achieving privileges.
