Studies have shown that enhanced interprofessional collaboration between doctors and registered dietitians can significantly improve nutrition-related clinical outcomes for patients, especially those managing chronic diseases. This teamwork ensures a holistic approach, which is vital for effective treatment. So, how do dietitians work with doctors to achieve this?

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a comprehensive nutritional assessment is a detailed and systematic process often conducted by an interdisciplinary healthcare team. This means that while a single professional may lead the process, multiple team members play crucial roles in gathering the necessary data to determine who is responsible for completing the nutrition assessment, depending on the context and level of care required.
