Our clinical guidelines<\/strong> are scientific, systematically developed, evidence-based, evidence-informed documents that provide practice recommendations to guide practitioner and patient decisions about nutrition and nutrition care practice. According to the best available evidence, in the absence of evidence, guidelines systematically outline the opinions of a large collection of experienced clinicians for the purposes of unifying nutrition and nutrition care and coordinating future research efforts.<\/p>\n

Our position papers<\/strong> present the official opinion of ASPEN on a particular topic.<\/p>\n

Our special reports<\/strong> present ASPEN-generated clinical or public policy information that is important for ASPEN constituents and does not fall into any of the other categories.<\/p>\n

Our practice standards<\/strong> are benchmarks for competent care performance. They define the structure and professional responsibilities needed to ensure patient safety and treatment success.<\/p>\n

Our expert guidance<\/strong> documents may have different category names (i.e. consensus recommendations) as ASPEN Board-approved paper types have evolved over time. ASPEN is continually committed to producing highly rigorous clinical guidance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\r\n <\/div>\r\r\n <\/div>\r\r\n<\/div>\r\r\n\n\n\n
