title: American Dietetic Association and the National Kidney Foundation Standards of Practice and Standards of Professional Performance for registered dietitians (generalist, specialty, and advanced) in nephrology care.
abstract: The American Dietetic Association (ADA) Renal Dietitians Practice Group (RPG) and the National Kidney Foundation Council on Renal Nutrition (NKF CRN), under the guidance of the ADA Quality Management Committee and Scope of Dietetics Practice Framework Sub-Committee, have developed the Standards of Practice (SOP) and Standards of Professional Performance (SOPP) for Registered Dietitians (Generalist, Specialty, and Advanced) in Nephrology Care (Supplementary Figures 1, 2, and 3 are available only online at www.jrnjournal.org). The SOP and SOPP documents are based upon the 2008 Revised Standards of Practice in Nutrition Care and Standards of Professional Performance for Registered Dietitians (RDs)(1), which are part of ADA's Scope of Dietetics Practice Framework(2). The 2008 Revised SOP in Nutrition Care and SOPP, along with the Code of Ethics(3), guide the practice and performance of RDs in all settings.
