A computer-assisted management information system was created to facilitate effective management of clinical nutrition services and labor resources in a 330-bed teaching and research hospital. Standards were developed for the quality and quantity of nutrition care, time required to provide nutrition care, and utilization of dietitians' time. Computer software was developed to report the volume of services provided, the need for services, and the utilization of labor hours. Data were evaluated to determine whether services were consistent with standards and to calculate a recommended number of clinical dietitian full-time equivalents for the hospital. Furthermore, the management information system was instrumental in developing a fee-for-service structure, for evenly distributing work loads among dietitians, and for monitoring adherence to standards of care.
