Background Standardised terminologies and classification systems play an increasingly important role in the continuous work towards high quality patient care. Currently, a standardised terminology for nutrition care, the Nutrition Care Process (NCP) Terminology (NCPT), is being implemented across the world, with terms for four steps: Nutrition Assessment (NA), Nutrition Diagnosis (ND), Nutrition Intervention (NI) and Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation (NME). Objective To explore associations between individual and contextual factors and implementation of a standardised NCPT among Swedish dietitians. Method A survey was completed by 226 dietitians, focussing on: (a) NCPT implementation level; (b) individual factors; and (c) contextual factors. Associations between these factors were explored through a two-block logistic regression analysis. Results Contextual factors such as intention from management to implement the NCPT (OR (odds ratio) ND 15.0, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 3.9–57.4, NME 3.7, 95% CI 1.1–13.0) and electronic health record (EHR) headings from the NCPT (OR NI 3.6, 95% CI 1.4–10.7, NME 3.8, 95% CI 1.1–11.5) were associated with higher implementation. A positive attitude towards the NCPT (model 1 OR ND 3.8, 95% CI 1.5–9.8, model 2 OR ND 5.0, 95% CI 1.4–17.8) was also associated with higher implementation, while other individual factors showed less association. Conclusion Contextual factors such as intention from management, EHR structure, and pre-defined terms and headings are key to implementation of a standardised terminology for nutrition and dietetic care. Implications for practice Clinical leadership and technological solutions should be considered key areas in future NCPT implementation strategies.
