Registered dietitian nutritionists working in ambulatory clinics should not be waiting for an administrator to invite them to the planning group for the transition from fee for service to value-based care payment models. Registered dietitian nutritionists should be identifying and promoting the services they can provide to ensure quality healthcare for patients. In this article, we describe value-based care as it is presented in dietetics literature. We also describe how registered dietitian nutritionists in our family medicine practice demonstrate their value as a member of the expanded interprofessional ambulatory care team providing quality care, reducing costs, and providing an exceptional experience for the patient. We call on educators of dietetics students, interns, and professionals to teach the necessary interprofessional skills to be successful in value-based care models of care.
