A fall 1985 mail survey of British Columbia (B.C.) hospitals offering outpatient diet counselling services documented a diversity of policies and procedures regarding both structural factors (i.e. personnel and facilities) and generic factors (i.e. referrals accepted and services provided). Results indicate a need to address many issues in outpatient dietetics in B.C. with a view to implementing changes and an ongoing program of evaluation, to ensure cost-effectiveness. Implications inferred from these results may be of value to dietitians elsewhere in Canada faced with the challenges of increasing competition for scarce health care resources.
1985年秋季对不列颠哥伦比亚省（简称B.C.）提供门诊饮食咨询服务的医院进行的邮件调查记录了在结构因素（即人员和设施）和一般因素（即接受的转诊和提供的服务）方面存在的各种政策和程序。结果表明，有必要解决B.C.省门诊营养学中的许多问题，以便实施变革和开展持续的评估计划，以确保成本效益。从这些结果中推断出的启示可能对加拿大其他地区面临稀缺医疗资源竞争加剧挑战的营养师有价值。
