FHIR Resource Development Project Insight ID
Project ID - 1081
Scope of coverage
Nutrition Order resource covers information needed for ordering oral diets (including general diets such as General Healthy diet, or therapeutic diets such as Consistent Carbohydrate, 2 gram Sodium, Fluid Restricted), enteral nutrition (tube feedings), infant formula and oral nutritional supplements which govern the distribution of food and nutritional products used to feed patients in in-patient healthcare settings. These nutrition orders are combined with information on a patient's food allergies and intolerances, and ethnic or cultural food preferences (Kosher, Vegetarian) to inform healthcare personnel about the type, texture, and/or quantity of foods that the patient should receive or consume.
Out of scope for initial resource work:
- Parenteral Nutrition (IV nutrition)
- Food Preferences
RIM scope

Resource appropriateness
Diet and Nutrition is a critical aspect of human health. Many health conditions require dietary or nutrition modifications. It is essential to share or exchange information about a patient’s nutritional requirements with multiple healthcare providers and with the food and nutrition/catering operations within an in-patient healthcare setting.
Expected implementations
Can be expected to be implemented as messaging between EHR/EMR and Food and Nutrition Management Systems in hospitals and long-term care facilities.
