Clinical Nutrition Management DPG

Clinical Nutrition Management Dietetic Practice Group #44
Visit Website »
Managers who direct clinical nutrition programs across the continuum of care.
Members of the Clinical Nutrition Management (CNM) DPG are managers (or those interested in becoming managers) of clinical nutrition programs across the health care continuum — in acute, sub-acute and long-term care, outpatient settings and home health. As leaders in health care systems, they are responsible for developing and implementing nutrition programs that keep pace with the changing health care environment and conform to the cost limitations of managed care.
They work with clinical staff and interdisciplinary teams to achieve optimum patient outcomes and health system goals, and to ensure continuous improvement in the quality of nutrition care. The CNM DPG is an invaluable resource to those destined to be cutting-edge leaders in health care. CNM is committed to providing members with the knowledge and skills to advance clinical nutrition management practice into the future.
CNM's Mission: Shape leadership to advance nutrition practices in healthcare
CNM's Vision: Recognized as valued leaders in healthcare


This seems like a great practice group to get involved in if you are wanting to become a CNM in the future!

    The Management in Food and Nutrition Systems practice group (# 41) is also a great practice group for managers anywhere in foodservice: from hospitals to schools to universities to restaurants! If you become a member of this group, you can sign up for a newsletter, or check for articles on their website, which include a helpful "Management Tip".

What should i eat before and after a workout? First things first…carbohydrates, proteins and fats are important for the body before  and after exercise. Exercising muscle preferentially uses carbohydrates from stored glycogen, but fats are also an important fuel source for energy production during exercise. Fats and carbohydrates are the two major fuel sources during exercise. Fats must be translocated and broken down from their storage form before they are used. Typically there is enough carbohydrate stored as muscle glycogen for exercise but as muscle glycogen stores decline, the skeletal muscle will then use some amino acids (basic components of all protein). More specifically, the amino acid leucine is used for energy.              It is important to consume an adequate amount of carbohydrates exercise to delay fatigue and minimize gastrointestinal distress. It is also important to consume enough fluids to prev...

Child Malnutrition

New approach to childhood malnutrition may reduce relapses, deaths http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150211124024.htm               Moderate acute malnutrition is experienced by 35 million children worldwide. A new study led by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has suggested that feeding children until they have met target measures of arm circumference and weight may be more important than a set 12 week feeding time. However, researchers have found that the current targets, set by the World Health Organization (WHO) may not be sufficient and raising these targets slightly could significantly reduce the risk of relapse in malnourished children; a condition that has a 37% relapse rate. The study took place in rural Malawi and was comprised of 2,349 moderately malnourished children aged 6 months to 5 years old. Children were evaluated 12 months after treatment; 1,967 rec...
