Hello NCM subscribers,
We are pleased to announce the 2017 Nutrition Care Manual updates. This year’s annual update encompasses many new resources, formatting changes to improve organization, and other exciting updates that are designed to make the NCM easier to use.
The 2017 NCM updates were published on October 20, 2017.
What’s new with NCM Navigation?
Navigation Overhaul
We have made substantial changes to the navigation of the NCM, PNCM and SNCM that remove redundancy to help you get where you want to go faster. Those collapsible green headers in the reading pane of the conditions section (and elsewhere) have been eliminated so that the only content you will see in the reading pane is the content you selected from the navigation pane (see images below). Additionally, you will no longer have a wait for the page to reload each time you select a subject from the navigation pane. These changes will make it easier and quicker to find exactly the content you need. Check out the video tutorial to see these changes in action.

NEW! Client-Ed Menu Nutrient Summaries
Most NCM client-ed pages are linked to sample menus intended as examples to get your clients started with dietary changes. As a professional, knowing the nutritional breakdown of these sample menus is critical to helping your clients achieve their goals. The new client education nutrient summaries change the way you can interact with the menu nutrient summaries, saving time! Each menu’s nutrient analysis now provides nutrient breakdowns for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks separately along with a daily total! Check out the video tutorial to see how it works.

Enteral Nutrition Calculations Made Easier! Formulary Calculations Now Compare Solutions to Your Client’s DRI Nutrient Needs
The formulary database contains a massive quantity of nutrient data that clinical dietitians cannot live without. Currently, enteral and oral nutrient summaries can be hard to scan for nutrients of interest and still require the RDN to ensure the appropriate nutrient quantities are being provided to the patient. This calculator update now performs DRI percent calculations for all formulations based on the IOM summary data, filtered by Life Stage Group for dozens of nutrients and then organize nutrient information logically by the categories: Macronutrients, Minerals, Vitamins, Lipids and Other! An upper limit calculation is also performed, and flagged in red to alert you to any potentially hazardous nutrient quantities. This video tutorial will demonstrate how to filter for the appropriate Life Stage Group.
