New Resource for Implementing Evidence-based Practice Recommendations

11/17/2022 - The Academy's Council on Research Implementation Subcommittee has developed a new resource to assist nutrition and dietetics practitioners in implementing evidence-based practice recommendations and clinical practice innovations into daily practice. The manual will:

• Introduce implementation-science concepts and methods to nutrition and dietetics practitioners.
  Assist nutrition and dietetics practitioners with implementing evidence-based practice recommendations and clinical practice innovations into daily practice.
• Help recognize the scale and depth that may be required for the implementation of evidence-based recommendations and clinical practice innovations into daily practice.

Access the new “Implementing Evidence: from Guidelines to Daily Practice” manual.

A series of guiding statements and treatment algorithms, Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines are designed to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate nutrition care for specific disease states or conditions in typical settings. Key elements include scope, interventions and practices considered; major recommendations (with corresponding rating of evidence strength); and areas of agreement and disagreement. Evidence-Based Practice Toolkits are sets of companion documents that detail how the practitioner applies the guideline in practice. Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines and Toolkits incorporate the Nutrition Care Process and Model as the standard process for patient and client care.
