Nutrition care for children with special health needs: a chart review.
A random sample of 182 client charts at local agencies serving children with special needs were reviewed to identify any children at nutrition risk and determine if they had access to nutrition services. A standardized protocol was used to review data on clinical and dietary variables. The findings indicate a need for improved data collection, better use of collected data, and greater agency use of registered dietitians.
