IDDSI is developing a US & Territories Reference Group to act as an informative, instructional body for IDDSI implementation across the United States. The group is designed to advocate, guide and support US users implementing IDDSI within their organizations to ensure the provision of optimal safety for individuals with dysphagia.
We are seeking volunteers to be part of this larger interprofessional/multi-sectoral reference group. A team of volunteers from diverse geographical locations and practice settings is being sought and hope to include representation including but not limited to Nutrition & Dietetics, Food Services, Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, Healthcare Professionals who support individuals with dysphagia, Patient Support Organizations, Healthcare Management and Industry. Previous involvement in IDDSI implementation is not necessary to be part of this group.
The US & Territories IDDSI Reference group will conduct teleconferences/online meetings on a monthly basis. The work of the group may include writing reports and letters, conducting surveys, developing materials, hosting webinars, etc. The time commitment would be 5-10 hours per month. A minimum of 1-year commitment is anticipated with a maximum term of 2 years.
