Consensus Recommendations for Optimizing Electronic Health Records for Nutrition Care.

Provision of nutrition care is vital to the health and well-being of any patient who enters the health care system, whether in the ambulatory, inpatient, or long-term care setting.

The documentation of nutrition care in a structured format from screening and assessment to discharge allows communication of the nutrition treatment plans.
