Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS986v4, the Malnutrition Care Score (MCS). The nutrition care plan is part of the nutrition care process within the scope of practice of the Registered Dietitian (RD). As such, it is the expectation that the RD or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) will be performing this step (measure observation #4).

The measure logic does not contain parameters on who must perform the nutrition care plan. Measure observation #4 can be performed by a professional designated in facility policies and procedures, and in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations.
