It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that nutrition informatics is a rapidly evolving area of practice for registered dietitian nutritionists and nutrition and dietetic technicians, registered; and that the knowledge and skills inherent to nutrition informatics permeate all areas of the dietetics profession. Further, nutrition and dietetics practitioners must continually learn and update their informatics knowledge and skills to remain at the forefront of nutrition practice. Nutrition informatics is the intersection of information, nutrition, and technology. However, informatics is not just using technology to do work. The essence of nutrition informatics is to manage nutrition data in combination with standards, processes, and technology to improve knowledge and practice that ultimately lead to improved quality of health care and work efficiency. Registered dietitian nutritionists and nutrition and dietetic technicians, registered, are already experts in using evidence to practice in all areas of nutrition and dietetics. To remain at the forefront of technological innovation, the profession must actively participate in the development of standards, processes, and technologies for providing nutrition care.
营养学会的立场是，营养信息学是注册营养师和注册营养技师实践中一个快速发展的领域；并且营养信息学所固有的知识和技能贯穿于整个营养专业领域。此外，营养和饮食学从业者必须不断学习和更新他们的信息学知识和技能，以保持在营养实践的前沿。营养信息学是信息、营养和技术的交叉点。然而，信息学不仅仅是使用技术来完成工作。营养信息学的本质是结合标准、流程和技术来管理营养数据，以提高知识和实践水平，最终提高医疗保健质量和工作效率。注册营养师和注册营养技师已经是在营养和饮食学的所有领域中使用证据进行实践的专家。为了保持在技术创新的前沿，该专业必须积极参与制定提供营养护理的标准、流程和技术。
