Introduction: Nutritional care models are standardized and systematized processes aimed at providing consistency and linkage of information. This creates a positive impact in terms of quality, service and costs. The objective of the expert consensus was to propose a nutrition care model for Latin America, taking into account principle No. 2 of the International Declaration of Cartagena.
Method: A questionnaire was developed and submitted to expert opinion following the Delphi methodology. The questionnaire initially consisted of 16 questions that evaluated the following issues: What are the stages and tools of the model? What should be the approach? On what pillars should the model be based? Consensus was considered when the questionnaire items achieved a score of ≥ 70% on the Likert scale 4 (agree) and 5 (strongly agree).
Results: 3 rounds of expert consultation were carried out, where a model consisting of 5 steps was defined (starting with screening for malnutrition risk, ending with home care), based on 5 pillars: education, public policies, ethical foundations, economics of clinical nutrition and multidisciplinary/multisectoral approach. Quality indicators for each of the 5 steps were proposed and analyzed.
Conclusion: The nutrition care model for Latin America is based on 5 steps and 5 pillars. This model should be considered as a didactic tool and strategy to facilitate the implementation and teaching of nutritional care at all levels in the clinical setting in Latin America.
