This CPE course is essential for all levels of practitioner in ensuring they are providing the most up-to-date, quality care for at-risk residents with pressure injuries. Additionally, this program will assist practitioners in implementing up-to-date, evidence-based practices into their facilities.

Pressure injuries can be improved and prevented by appropriate and timely dietary interventions. This improves patient overall well-being and decreases length of stay. Too many facilities, especially those who are short staffed, are lacking pressure injury prevention knowledge. This course provides the RDN or NDTR with tools to create standards of care and protocols to address pressure injuries.

This CPE course encourages RDNs and NDTRs to continue to demonstrate their value as a part of the interdisciplinary team and to assert themselves into becoming a leader within their facilities and workplaces.

As a long-time provider of nutrition services to long term care facilities, I see firsthand the implications of a good nutrition care plan. Facilities that prioritize nutrition and nutrition interventions decrease malnutrition, improve resident quality of life, and optimize reimbursement. In addition, CMS will not hesitate to penalize facilities where excessive weight loss, skin breakdown, and preventable hospital readmissions occur. This course provides a framework for creating an appropriate and effective nutrition focused QIP.

Ethics isn’t Optional: Understanding and Apply the Academy Code of Ethics is a course that provides current practical situations that a practitioner may find themselves in. The recommendations in managing the situation according to the Academy Code of Ethics is invaluable and would benefit anyone that takes this course.

This self-study course provides an overview of how to use the Code of Ethics along with several different areas where ethics could be in question along with solutions.

This is a wonderful and thorough review of nutrition for older adults. It encompasses common concerns and nutrition problems seen in the older adult population. The studies are well written and thought out!

This is an excellent resource for dietitians in the continuum of care. The course came at a perfect time for me as I prepare to retake my CSG.

This program provides a well-rounded educational experience to encourage and promote a comprehensive understanding with MDS, specifically with section K.

The case studies are very reflective of actual day-to-day work in facilities. Coding Section K correctly requires thorough understanding of MDS-mandated interpretation of nutrition related events. This course provides opportunity for practice at the “nitty-gritty” level!

This self-study course helps the nutrition professional gain the knowledge needed to work with individuals with diabetes during pregnancy.

The required reading and self study course are excellent resources for anyone working with pregnant people with diabetes. The course is a good assessment of one’s knowledge of the information. Diabetes in pregnancy is complex, so keeping up to date with current nutrition therapy for these conditions is essential to support pregnant persons.

This CPE program focuses on a topic that has been considered a bit more controversial. The nutrition professional would greatly benefit from understanding this form of eating behavior to build trust and better equip their patients or clients with practical information that they want to know more about.

I learned a lot about the benefits of time-restricted eating with this CPE program! Before taking this course, I mistakenly believed time-restricted eating was simply about calorie restriction. A better understanding of the research and the metabolic benefits of time-restricted eating will allow us to recommend and implement programs with our patients. It helps to know that adherence is better as this is a huge barrier to success with dietary interventions.

Time-restricted eating and the variations of this eating pattern is a very timely topic and more research is being completed to see how this may influence chronic disease and weight loss. This course provides an evidence-based overview of the topic and then allows for a better understanding for the practitioner of how this can be applied with patient care.

This is an excellent examination of the research on the role of nutrition in dementia prevention. I recently wrote a textbook chapter, requiring me to review the studies over the past 20 years, and agree with the conclusions of the working group who put forth this article. I think any nutrition professional could benefit from the required reading and the CPE program.

This continues to be a hot topic and yet is still unknown due to limitations listed in the required reading and self study course. This self study course is a good reminder of how research works, has limitations and what those limitations are.

It is important (actually vital) for the RDN to understand where the research and science lands on the topic of nutrition and dementia. This self study course was a bit more complicated program than the norm since it was evaluating and understanding the research and gaps in the area of nutrition and prevention of dementia. I believe this will open the eyes of many dietitians out in practice, especially those promoting specific diets for the prevention of dementia.
