Overview
The new Dining Practice
Standards were released in 2011. The Standards have been agreed upon by
12 clinical standard setting organizations and recognized by CMS. A
second Task Force developed a Toolkit of model policies and procedures,
brochures for families and residents and other tools to help teams
operationalize the Standards such as an Informed Choice form. In an
overview format, learn about the Standards, the evidence-based research
that backs them, how they were built upon CMS nursing home requirements
and the new tools now available, from the facilitator of both the
Creating Home || symposium and subsequent task forces. Be inspired to
use the new standards to keep improving yours.
