Subject: [CD-HCF forum EML] RE: JCAHCO and Dietitian competencies in any

setting

Here are the questions I have received so far about the book published by

the ADA “Ensuring Staff Competence”

1) Are the forms able to show that RDs participate in professionally

monitored CEUs?

No this isn’t addressed on the forms, but it can easily be added

2) Is there anything out of date or is it one of those classics?

Nothing appears to out of date – with the except of what is address in the

first question here in this email.

If I were revising this publication or creating a wish list for revisions:

1) I would make it a loose leaf so that the forms can be easily

photocopied

2) I would add the issue about the need for RDs to participate in CEUs to

make their learning goals

3) I would consider placing it on a CD in word format so that it can be

modified to suit each dietetic professional or facility.

As it stands now I am going to separate the book and put it into loose leaf

format. I have considered scanning each form, but I think that might be

more hassle than it’s worth. To modify for individualization, it would be

just as easy to create my own form based on the information in each form.

If you have additional questions, please email me and I will try to answer

your questions. Digna and Raphaela (and anyone else for that matter) if are

looking at one specific job for competency, please email me and I will let

you know what is on these particular forms.

Hi Carol – appreciate your info regarding Ensuring Clinical Staff

Competecny. I just checked on the

ADA website and saw it is from 1998. Is there anything out of date or is it

one of those classics? Thanks very much
