Cross-modality: delivery of health services through non-professionals.

The cross-modality (C-M) system of health care delivery was developed as one response to numerous societal requirements for better health care delivery. A pilot program is described which established C-M program in several institutions for the mentally retarded, using attendant staff as "primary deliverers of service." While the purpose of the program was to demonstrate the improved effectiveness of care, the additional cost-benefits of a C-M system appear significant. Dietetic literature supports the appropriateness of delivering certain dietetic services in selected environments through such a system.

Dietetic services in a cross-modality system.

The nutrition component of a cross-modality training program is described. This training specifically enabled non-professionals to provide selected dietary and clinical evaluations and basic nutrition education. The role development of a dietitian, either functioning in a C-M system or facilitating the introduction of such a system, is discussed. The dietitian's contributions and limitations are presented from the viewpoint of the dietitian as a member of a C-M training team. Implications are drawn from utilization of the C-M system in institutions.
