Dietitians are the individuals with knowledge of food, who provide diet therapy for the medical profession. This profession was first defined in the year 1899. Dieticians employed in hospitals are known as clinical dietitians. The practice of clinical nutrition is called nutrition therapy. Clinical dietitians, the educated and trained professionals, can best serve nutrition therapy.
The clinical nutrition care team comprises of director of nutrition service, clinical nutrition manger, food service manager, chief clinical manager, registered dietetic technicians and dietary assistants.
Clinical dieticians are employed in a number of acute and chronic health care facilities. These include hospitals (public, private, and veterans and military) and clinics (outpatient, urgent care, and long-care facilities). Their services may be provided to general patient care units or based on a specialization. They provide nutritional care for patients, nutritional screening of patients to examine the problem related to nutrition, diagnosis development and evaluation of the nutrition care plan.
Chief clinical manager directs the activities of clinical dietitians, dietetics technicians and dietetic assistants. He hires, trains, evaluates, and schedules employee training, policies and procedure development, and implementation of goals and objectives of the department. He reports to the nutrition service director, who supervises clinical nutrition manager and directors. In turn, outpatient and inpatient clinical dietitians report to the clinical manager.
