The Education and Training team of the U.S. International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) Reference Group (USIRG) encourages you to complete a new anonymous survey found at this link: https://lnkd.in/dwsQDstY This 5-minute survey seeks to determine how much IDDSI implementation has occurred across the U.S. We urge you to complete it regardless of your current status in the implementation process. We want to hear from all of you—those who have not started yet, those who have completed implementation, and everyone in between!

About us
The IDDSI framework consists of a continuum of 8 levels (0 - 7), where drinks are measured from Levels 0 – 4, while foods are measured from Levels 3 – 7. The IDDSI Framework provides a common terminology to describe food textures and drink thickness. IDDSI Testing Methods are intended to confirm the flow or textural characteristics of a particular product at the time of testing. Testing should be done on foods and drinks under the intended serving conditions (especially temperature).
