TL;DR: It is suggested that, although there is enough favorable evidence in cost-effectiveness for a hospital to establish an NST, the full potential of the NST as the proper repositor of a new branch of medicine (Clinical Nutrition) has yet to be widely recognized and properly tested.
Abstract: The development of clinical nutrition in the past few years has occasioned a rapid proliferation of hundreds of nutrition support teams across the country. Data available in several surveys of these teams suggest that they are so likely to differ from one another that they scarcely merit a common name. Some standard is clearly needed. A formulation of the essential features that should be found in every NST is presented. In light of this conceptual framework, data on the efficacy of NSTs are discussed. It is suggested that, although there is enough favorable evidence in cost-effectiveness for a hospital to establish an NST, the full potential of the NST as the proper repositor of a new branch of medicine (Clinical Nutrition) has yet to be widely recognized and properly tested.

TL;DR: Patients with nutrition-related conditions were far more likely to report being asked to change their practices than patients with no nutrition- related conditions, but self-reported change in dietary practices as a result of physician counseling did not vary by nutrition related condition.
Abstract: This paper examines patient responses to nutrition counseling activities of their family physicians. Two hundred-six patients (seen by one of nine family physicians) were asked whether the physician inquired about their dietary practices and whether they were asked to change any of these practices. Patients were also asked whether they understood, agreed with, and changed any of their dietary practices as a result of the consultation. Responses are examined in light of the self-reported physical condition of the patient. Patients without nutrition-related conditions were just as likely to be asked about their eating habits as patients with nutrition-related conditions. Patients with nutrition-related conditions were far more likely to report being asked to change their practices than patients with no nutrition-related conditions (p less than .001). However, self-reported change in dietary practices as a result of physician counseling did not vary by nutrition related condition.
