    Abstract:
    The Nutrition Care Process (NCP), created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, provides a framework that encourages critical thinking and promotes uniform documentation by Registered Dietitians (RD). Additionally, it creates a link between the nutrition assessment, nutrition intervention, and the predicted or actual nutrition outcome. NCP has been integrated into a number of institutions in Canada and internationally. A committee of nonmanagement RDs at the Hospital for Sick Children led the Department of Clinical Dietetics in adopting the NCP. The committee developed and consecutively delivered a tailored education plan to 5 groups of RDs within the department. Additional resources were developed to complement the learning plan. The committee administered informal pre- and post-education surveys to measure outcomes. RDs reported receiving adequate training and felt confident implementing NCP into their practice. Adopting the NCP was well-received and RDs within the department continue to integrate it into their current practice.
