Medical Nutrition

Dietitians have extensive training and are considered the experts in medical nutrition therapy (MNT). Although dietitian competencies for MNT are well established, competencies that account for the expanded roles of dietitians working in transplantation have not been developed. These expanded roles require a better understanding of transplant processes, regulations, and even the business side of transplant, novel concepts to most dietitians. Therefore, we proposed a standardized framework of transplant-specific competencies for dietitians practicing in transplantation. These competencies can help improve and standardize initial and ongoing training for transplant dietitians moving forward, ultimately leading to improved patient care for transplant candidates, recipients, and donors.

The Right

Clinical guidelines (CGs) contain a set of directions or principles to assist the healthcare practitioner with patient care decisions about appropriate diagnostic, therapeutic, or other clinical procedures for specific clinical circumstances. It is widely accepted that the adoption of guideline-execution engines in daily practice would improve the patient care, by standardising the care procedures. Guideline-based systems constitute part of a knowledge-based decision support system in order to deliver the right knowledge to the right people in the right form at the right time. The automation of the guideline execution process is a basic step towards its widespread use in medical centres. To achieve this general goal, different topics should be tackled, such as the acquisition of clinical guidelines, its formal verification, and finally its execution. This chapter focuses on the execution of CGs and describes the design and implementation of an agent-based platform in which the actors involved in health care coordinate their activities to perform the complex task of guideline enactment.

<p>Embracing EBVM as a concept is an important first step, but is of little value unless it is translated into an improvement in patient care. This session will discuss how EBVM can be incorporated into clinical guidelines at a practice level, using a team-based approach to maximise concordance. The pros and cons of using practice guidelines as a means of improving clinical effectiveness will be discussed, followed by an illustration of how the clinical audit cycle can be used as a tool to ensure that Best Practice as a established by practice guidelines is applied to produce an improvement in clinical performance.</p><p> <a href="/index.php/ve/article/view/95/128"><img src="/public/site/images/bridget/Bradley_twitte_image.PNG" alt="" /></a></p><br /> <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/oa-icon.jpg" alt="Open Access" />
