1 Webinar Title: The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative Framework Description: This presentation will introduce the (IDDSI) framework and provide an update on awareness and implementation around the world. From 2013, a multidisciplinary, international group has been working to develop International standardised levels, names and definitions for texture modified food and thickened fluids for use in dysphagia. A common language provides increased safety for individuals with dysphagia. The project has been conducted over four stages, commencing with reviewing existing national published standards, surveying stakeholders for their needs of an international standardised terminology, a systematic review of the literature to support the use of texture modified foods and thickened liquids, and stakeholder consultation of the draft framework that was released for public comment in May, The IDDSI standards are suitable for use with clients of all ages, in all care settings and across cultures. This presentation will introduce the IDDSI standards and explain how the International Standards map with existing standards. The presentation will include learnings from trials of the new standards in pilot sites. It will also address implementation strategies based on experiences from other countries that have implemented national dysphagia diets. Course Objectives: After this presentation, participants will be able to: 1. To introduce the IDDSI International framework. 2. To explain how the new IDDSI International standards map to the various terminologies and existing standards using examples across care settings and client groups. 3. To provide information regarding strategies to implementation of the new standards based on experiences of trial sites from around the world and experiences from other countries that have implemented national terminologies. Audience: Registered Dietitians (RD), Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN), Dietetic Technicians Registered (DTR), Nutrition and Dietetic Technicians Registered (NDTR) and members of the interdisciplinary team Instructions for Obtaining Continuing Professional Education (CPE): Becky Dorner & Associates is a Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Accredited Provider (NU004) with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR).

4 National Dysphagia Diet Disclaimer The material in this appendix should be regarded as the beginning of a discussion and research agenda on the topic of viscosity and shear rates The suggested ranges do not reflect those currently used for any organization or company, but are meant to be a catalyst for more research in this area.it is fully expected that the suggested ranges here will be modified as soon as more research is available. National Dysphagia Diet Disclaimer these categories do not necessarily represent the ranges expected for true dietary nectars or honey, nor do they address the serving temperature of actual food. Instead, the borders and ranges suggested here are intended to be used as a basis for discussion...further study and peer-reviewed, scientific data will be needed to truly quantify the management parameters surrounding the complex diagnosis of dysphagia.

6 IDDSI Systematic Review There IS evidence that thickening helps those who aspirate thin liquids There is ALSO evidence that there is such a thing as too thick, where residue begins to accumulate There is no specific evidence to point to particular rheological values that define the boundaries of effective thickening (either just thick enough or too thick) IDDSI Systematic Review There IS evidence solid food and thicker consistencies require greater effort in oral processing and swallowing There is very little literature specifically about texture modified food used for the management of dysphagia Putting it all together IDDSI Framework (May 2015 International Comment; September 2015 released) 2015 Vancouver meeting interlaced stakeholder feedback + research evidence To develop a culturally-sensitive, agespan relevant framework for classifying texture modified foods and thickened drinks International Stakeholder Consultation #2: Draft framework n=3190; 57 different countries Overwhelming positive feedback internationally Very little negative feedback Persons with dysphagia + carers; Professional associations that support; Health care professionals + food service; Industry; Researchers 4

7 Complete IDDSI Framework; IDDSI Testing Methods; IDDSI Evidence; IDDSI FAQs The Measurement Dilemma Measuring viscosity is TOO complicated to use in kitchens as the basis for classifying thickness Need a simpler, but valid and reliable method for measuring thickness at the point-of-use IDDSI Flow test ( van Vliet, 2002, Food Quality and Preference, 13, Similar to Posthumus Funnel used in dairy industry to measure liquid thickness Looks like a large syringe geometry allows for both shear and elongation that more closely matches flow conditions within the oral cavity IDDSI 10 ml syringe specifications Example videos of the IDDSI flow test can be found on YouTube and accessed through the resources page on the IDDSI website: Ben Hanson 31/3/2015 5

This provides a useful compliance measure for particle size of foods at Level 5 - Minced & Moist. IDDSI Fork Pressure Test: A fork can be applied to the food sample to observe its behavior when pressure is applied. Pressure applied to the food sample has been quantified by assessment of the pressure needed to make the thumb nail blanch noticeably to white. 6
