Presentations for Dietitians, Directors/Managers of Dining
Services, and all Healthcare Professionals interested in regulatory
compliance in such areas:
Ask
yourself WHY your facility may not have implemented CHANGES
FOR YOUR RESIDENTS TO MAKE DINING CHOICES? Did you
know there may be psychological HARM to your residents? HOW
can you reduce barriers from resistant staff? How can YOU
promote liberalized diets, resident rights, & self
determination &“All decisions default to the resident?” Are
you helping your facility prepare for survey by studying the
right of choice & regulations? Or has it just been too
DIFFICULT to change? Many will identify with concerns that
challenge this fictional nursing home, struggling with an
actual deficiency in F 151 (Resident Rights). STUDY & SHARE
the discussions & referenced quotes from pdf documents. Use
these in development of stronger resident-directed dining
systems. Many quoted references and applied concepts come
from timely Symposium Papers developed for CMS/Pioneer
Network: Creating Home II: Dining 2010
(www.pioneernetwork.net) in which I had the honor of
presenting. I participated on the ADA committee to develop
the new Standards of Practice for the Dietitian in
Extended Care Facilities (available in JADA in
April 2011.) The committee had to completely reword the
medical model of dietetics (heart healthy, live longer) as
practice standards of the LTC dietitian are so very
different (seeking quality of life as defined by resident.)
Continuing a watershed year, I was lead on 1st DMA Position
Paper, entitled the Role of the Certified Dietary Manager in
Resident-Directed Dining (April 2011.) I share research that
I found from Mayo Clinic for decision making & informed
choice/refusal. It will be referenced in new dining
practice standards from CMS/Pioneer Network Task Force
(out in fall 2011), partially taken from symposium papers,
application, & recommendations. So much information is
available. Are you prepared to help your IDT implement new
dining changes?
How effective are your Food Safety Systems in this highly regulated climate? Surveyors are receiving more training on Food Safety Standards (Food Code). Regulatory Requirements for food safety, infection control, and Quality Assessment/Performance Improvement are being revised to demand more effective healthcare (hospital and nursing home) systems.
