title: American Dietetic Association: standards of practice and standards of professional performance for registered dietitians (generalist, specialty, and advanced) in oncology nutrition care.
abstract: The Standards of Practice and Standards of Professional Performance in Oncology Nutrition Care serve as a professional resource for self-evaluation and professional development for RDs specializing in oncology nutrition practice. Application of these documents in clinical practice presents the opportunity for quality improvement in oncology nutrition services provided by the RD. Just as the professional self-evaluation and continuing education process is an ongoing cycle, these standards are also a work in progress, and will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis. The Standards of Practice and Standards of Professional Performance are a quality initiative of the ADA and ON DPG that reflect a commitment to improving the quality of nutrition services provided by RDs in oncology settings.
