The Nutrition Care Process (NCP) model. Permission to use this figure has been obtained from the Academy of Nutrition and Diabetes (USA). This model is a graphic visualization that illustrates the steps of the NCP as well as internal and external factors that impact application of the NCP. The central component of the model is the relationship of the target patients or group and the registered dietitian and nutritionist (RDN). One of the two outer rings represents the skill and abilities of the RDN along with application of evidenced-based practice, application of the Code of Ethics, and knowledge of the RDN. The second of the outer rings represents environmental factors such as healthcare system, socioeconomics, and practice setting that impacts the ability of the target patient or group to benefit from RDN services
