Dietitian Referral Form Inpatient
Categories:
Primary Health Care | 61
number:
CLI.6110.FORM.008
rationale:
The nutrition referral is used by health care providers to refer to the Clinical Dietitians when needed for acute care - inpatients. Typically it is used when another RD covers for them from another site. The form shall provide efficiencies for both the health care provider completing it and the RD when receiving it.
The Regional Centres have been trialing this form for a couple of years. The small acute sites have a blank form that is not specific with this kind of information. It would be helpful for both nursing and RD's to use this regionally and will improve client care.
