How Clinical Dietetics works in SkillScorer
Score
Each practitioner in a department is scored on the Clinical Dietetics skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank practitioners, compare two side by side, or compare your departments against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Clinical Dietetics skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior dietitian's department.
Clinical Dietetics scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Clinical Dietetics scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Clinical Dietetics scorecard covers 10 skills: Nutritional Assessment and Screening, Nutrition Diagnosis and Care Planning, Medical Nutrition Therapy for Chronic Conditions, Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition Support, Malnutrition and Swallowing Difficulties, Counselling and Behaviour Change, Evidence-Based Practice, Documentation and Coding of Dietetic Interventions, Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Cultural and Individual Food Preferences.

How are practitioners scored in Clinical Dietetics?
Every practitioner is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one department and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Clinical Dietetics?
Clinical Dietetics starts with these levels (called “Career Stage” in the app): Student, Graduate Dietitian, Dietitian, Senior Dietitian, Advanced Dietitian and Head of Department. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Clinical Dietetics skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In nutrition & dietetics the app talks about practitioners, departments and senior dietitians, and you can change any of those words too.
