Services Provided by the Registered Dietitians
(RDs)
Each patient care unit has a registered dietitian assigned
for primary coverage of several patient care units. The dietitian
is responsible for:
- screening charts to identify patients with nutrition issues and
responding to consults from doctors and nurses to see patients with
nutrition-related problems
- assessing patients' nutritional status, planning and implementing
a nutrition care plan; documenting the nutrition care plan in the
medical record and communicating pertinent information to other
members of the health care team
- preparing a patient for discharge by providing nutrition "survival
skills" and arranging for outpatient nutrition follow-up if
appropriate; writing a referral for a patient with a nutrition care
plan to be continued in another facility or at home.
To contact the Registered Dietitian for a specific floor, each patient
care unit has a Diet Change Report sheet on a clipboard at the nursing
station, and each morning the RD writes her/his name and beeper number
on the Diet Change Report. RDs can be contacted through the hospital
paging system or call 617-724-FOOD (724-3663), who can either contact
the RD or provide the name and beeper number.
Note: The MGH Department of Dietetics Diet Reference
Manual is available on each patient care unit. This manual gives an
overview of all diet orders and provides detailed information about
the rationale and implementation of each diet modification.
