Texture Modified Food Guidelines – Free Webinar (SNF/AL)
Some skilled nursing facilities have implemented a specific diet standard, known as the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization 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 are hosting a free webinar on June 17 at 2 p.m. Eastern, titled Utilizing IDDSI’s Tools to Avoid Texture Modified Food Mistakes and Citations. This free webinar covers how to approach your IDDSI plan through:
- Understanding why incorporating this change is important.
- Learning how preparing foods that meet IDDSI definitions can best accommodate your residents’ needs.
- Understanding why and how QAPI provides the structure for full implementation.
