Visit our new Web site at www.cnmdpg.org/

Members of the Clinical Nutrition Management (CNM) DPG are 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 in the new millennium. To fulfill this mission, CNM is involved in many initiatives, including publication of Connective Leadership: Linking Vision with Action and promotion of the use of ADA's Nutrition Practice Guidelines and MNT Protocols.
