International Dietetics and Nutrition Terminology (IDNT)

The International Dietetics and Nutrition Terminology (IDNT) is a standardized system that healthcare professionals, particularly dietitians, use to describe and document nutritional care and services. It provides a common language for assessing nutrition needs, creating plans, and evaluating outcomes for individuals or groups. By using consistent terms and definitions, IDNT helps improve communication among health professionals and enhances the quality of nutrition care, ensuring patients receive appropriate and effective guidance for their dietary practices and health goals.
