- Teaches and counsels patients and caregivers about healthy eating habits, menu planning, and lifestyle choices
- Recommends nutrition strategies, monitors your progress, and adjusts your nutrition plan
- Designs and implements medical nutrition therapy including diet supplementation, feeding tube nutrition, and intravenous (IV) nutrition
- Orders and interprets nutrition-related laboratory tests
- Works closely with a patient’s entire medical team, as well as with family members, social workers, and teachers as needed

- Oversees food service operations in hospitals and other healthcare facilities, school cafeterias, day care centers, food corporations, and correctional facilities

What measures do Dietitians in MI take to ensure patient privacy and confidentiality in their practice?
Patient data protection and privacy rights are a top priority for all healthcare practices. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires healthcare professionals to follow established safeguards to protect private health information and imposes penalties for those who violate privacy rights. HIPAA also allows patients to understand exactly how their health information is used and decide with whom it may be shared.
Healthcare systems also have rigorous digital security protocols to protect electronic health records, and any staff members with access to health information receive training on privacy practices to maintain patient trust and confidentiality.
