Dietetic services in a cross-modality system.
The nutrition component of a cross-modality training program is described. This training specifically enabled non-professionals to provide selected dietary and clinical evaluations and basic nutrition education. The role development of a dietitian, either functioning in a C-M system or facilitating the introduction of such a system, is discussed. The dietitian's contributions and limitations are presented from the viewpoint of the dietitian as a member of a C-M training team. Implications are drawn from utilization of the C-M system in institutions.
