## Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation

Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation involve tracking the patient's progress and the outcomes of nutrition interventions.

### Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation Data and Associated FHIR Resources

FHIR resources used for this purpose include:

* **Observation Resource** : Continues to be crucial for ongoing measurements and assessments.
* **NutritionIntake Resource** : Details about the consumption of foods (i.e., solid and/or liquid), supplements, enteral nutrition, and infant formula.
* **NutritionProduct Resource:** Identification of a food (i.e., solid and/or liquid) product provided to patients.
* **Goal Resource** : Tracks specific nutrition-related goals and their outcomes.
* **Condition Resource** : Updated to reflect changes in the patient’s condition as a result of interventions.
* **CarePlan Resource** : Monitors and evaluates the overall care plan, adjusting interventions as needed.
