Some skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) have implemented a specific diet standard, known as the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI). The IDDSI Framework Documents provide guidelines to produce safer food and drinks for residents who benefit from a texture modified diet. Implementation of IDDSI requires coordinated teamwork to align efforts with facility goals, including improving safety.
This free webinar covers how to approach your IDDSI plan through:
- Understanding why incorporating this change is important.
- How preparing foods that meet IDDSI definitions can best accommodate your residents’ needs.
- Why and how QAPI provides the structure for full implementation.
