In 1997 the AME held in Boston, Mass. had approximately 8700 attendees which represents 7.7% of the total membership of ADA.Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service developed a distance education...
A computer-based simulation system (CPSS) was developed to include three realistic scenarios of patients with cardiovascular disease. Beginning dietetic interns used either these simulations or an alternative computer tutorial (NCPT) during their internship orientation. During the subsequent eight weeks of clinical rotations, interns were evaluated weekly by their clinical preceptors. Performance...
Fifty-five dietetic interns from eight different programs used three computer-based simulations of patients with cardiovascular disease during the orientation phase of the internship. Users were asked to assess each patient and develop a nutrition care plan. The simulations included a medical record and other information typically available for a newly hospitalized patient. A main menu of eight choices...
The changes in health care delivery has led to an increased focus on the outcome of care creating a major shift in the practice of dietetics. Recognition of the need to rationalize the effectiveness and cost of nutrition intervention by the RD has led to the development of practice guidelines and continuous quality improvement techniques through outcomes research. A survey was conducted to examine...
