Transitioning to the new charts
Here are some things to consider as we transition to
the new charts:
The infant or child may not look different to you or
the caregiver, but he or she plots at a different
percentile on the WHO growth chart.
Try framing the new charts with the
caregiver.
See the “Tips for Talking with Caregivers
about Growth Charts” in the Appendix.
The child has a new risk
Be sure to press the “Identify New Risks” button on the Measures Tab to assign growth-
related risks during the eligibility period.
You can add new risks at any time.
See “Assess Nutrition Risk” in Volume 1, Chapter 14 – Nutrition Risk Criteria
The child becomes high risk during the certification
Be sure to press the “Identify New Risks” button on the Measures Tab to assign growth-
related risks during the eligibility period.
Refer to the nutritionist for a high risk care plan when there are more than 60 days (2
months) left in the eligibility period.
If there aren’t 60 days left in the eligibility period, you don’t have to refer to the
nutritionist (but it’s best practice).
See “Determine High Risk Status” in Volume 1, Chapter 14 – Nutrition Risk Criteria.
The child was high risk and is no longer high risk
Make sure no other high risk factors apply.
Write a note in the client’s file about the change from high risk status.
The risk can’t be removed.
The client isn’t required to see the nutritionist for a high risk care plan.
See “Determine High Risk Status” in Volume 1, Chapter 14 – Nutrition Risk Criteria.
