The IDDSI dream since joining together in 2013 has been to:Īchieve global dysphagia diet terminology, creating common terminology and common understanding across international borders, across the lifespan, across all professions, and across the all stakeholders to help the care of people with difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) is an organization made up of volunteer clinicians and researchers from 9 countries around the world. See links below to review the prior National Dysphagia Diet (NDD) charts:ġ) The Old National Dysphagia Diet (NDD): My Dysphagia Diet quick chartĢ) Here is the extended version that we used to give to kitchens to follow the guidelines: National Dysphagia Diet Details New Generation of Dysphagia Diets: 2016-2019 Updates & The use of food science and the science of rheology have helped us create diets not only to avoid diet-label confusions, but also to provide for the safest textures for the patient’s particular type of dysphagia.
This tool listed diets that were appropriate for patients with swallowing disorders. However, the National Dysphagia Diet was the result of consensus among dietitians, Speech-Language Pathologists, and food scientists. It was created as an official project of the ADA, but the NDD was not officially supported by ASHA (American Speech-Language Hearing Association). NDD was published in 2002 by the American Dietetic Association (now known as the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics). In the past, the National Dysphagia Diet (NDD) was the only standardized diet tool in the United States, and it was a great beginning. Have diets been standardized at your facility?

You may hear doctors and health care professionals use terms like: “Soft,” “Mechanical Soft,” “Chopped,” “Ground,” “Blended smooth,” etc, but what does it mean? Ambiguous terms without standardized definitions lead to dangerous trays being given to patients.
