Standardized language and use of nutrition diagnosis is cutting edge information that every dietetics practitioner needs to know to practice effectively. ADA's NCP is a systematic, problem-solving method developed for use in critical decision-making on nutrition-related problems to provide safe, effective, high-quality nutrition care. NCP helps move the profession to a higher level of practice by establishing a new standard of nutrition care, benchmarking positive patient outcomes, and thus identifying RDs and DTRs as the preferred providers of nutrition services. The model is relevant across all practice areas: ambulatory, acute care, long term care, nutrition education, and community setting. The NCP moves the profession towards evidence-based practice, defines a common language that allows nutrition practice to be more effectively measured, creates a format that enables the process to generate both quantitative and qualitative data that can then be analyzed and interpreted, and serves as the structure to validate nutrition care.
