Development and validation of the Nutrition Care Process Assessment of Brief Level of Expertise screening tool

The NCP-ABLE met the established validity and reliability thresholds. This supports its utilization as a screen for NCP proficiency, particularly to identify individuals demonstrating lower levels of NCP knowledge proficiency. The NCP-ABLE may be effective for the screening of clinicians, educators, preceptors, and students for educational intervention or quality improvement initiatives. Future investigations may aim to validate the NCP-ABLE in other languages. Further research is needed to determine the relationship between NCP-ABLE scores and NCP implementation, possibly by comparing NCP-ABLE results and scores from robust assessments of NCP practice.
