Standards of Excellence

The Standards of Excellence Program aims to recognize organizations that understand and elevate the value of credentialed nutrition and dietetics practitioners. Organizations across the care spectrum can actively participate in achieving this designation. It is comprised of four domains. The criteria under each domain can be found in the Standards of Excellence Scoring Tool, and can be applied broadly to a variety of practice areas, including acute and post-acute care facilities, community nutrition and public health facilities, education and research entities, as well as business and industry groups.
