Ambiguous terms lead to risk: The importance of IDDSI implementation

The New Jewish Home’s Director of Speech-Language and Swallowing Disorders Fae Boczko, MS,CCC-SLP,BCS-S, shares in McKnight’s how the interdisciplinary teams at our Manhattan facility worked together to successfully implement the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) to benefit our patients and residents with swallowing disorders. Take a look: Ambiguous terms lead to risk: The importance of IDDSI implementation – Guest columns – McKnight’s Long-Term Care News (mcknights.com)

The New Jewish Home has a proud legacy of empowering older adults to live with purpose and enhanced well-being. We’ve been around since 1848 as one of the nation’s first nursing homes, and now serving older New Yorkers of all backgrounds through a portfolio of health care services, including post-acute care and rehabilitation, skilled nursing, adult day care, assisted living, and at-home care.

See how we continue to elevate health care for older adults through our Research Institute on Aging and our SkillSpring program (formerly known as Geriatrics Career Development program), which empower teens and young adults to begin careers in health care.

Contact us at (212) 870-4715 or ManhattanSNF@JewishHome.org for more information about our Manhattan programs, or to schedule a tour.
