Utilizing IDDSI’s Tools to Avoid Texture Modified Food Mistakes and Citations

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.   

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.
