View This Free Webinar Discussing IDDSI and Texture Modified Food Guidelines

Programs and Resources; Webinars
 

Some skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) have implemented a specific diet standard, titled 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. 

AHCA/NCAL and Incite Strategic Partners offer a free webinar titled Utilizing IDDSI’s Tools to Avoid Texture Modified Food Mistakes and Citations. This 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.
