The Center of Excellence Award, along with its associated Standards of Excellence in Nutrition and Dietetics, is a program that assesses an organization’s program(s), services, and initiatives that identify and distinguish the RDN/NDTR as the professional expert in nutrition and dietetics. There are 4 domains that are evaluated in the Standards of Excellence Tool:
- Quality of Leadership
- Quality of Organization
- Quality of Practice
- Quality of Outcomes
All 4 domains can be evaluated at the same time or one-at-a-time according to the preference of the user considering the objective(s) for accessing this performance improvement tool and the time commitment.
