The growth of the Internet as a source of information and products has been astounding in the last five years. RD's too have a presence on the Internet by contributing information to food and nutrition related sites. Many RD's are taking advantage of this venue for creating e-based practices. There are so many nutrition information sites on the Internet that Tufts University has an Internet site, which offers ratings, and descriptions of nutrition related sites for consumer, professional, and the journalist. The personal computer offers the dietitian tools to accomplish tasks in new and exciting ways.
Computer technology is empowering to the dietitian in any practice setting.
Using software systems to reap maximum benefits requires preplanning for selection and implementation. Nevertheless, the benefits are great in terms of cost effective and efficient management of resources to provide client and program with the best possible product. All rights reserved.
