Using a “Best Practice” Clinical Practice Guideline

Nutritional Status in the Long-Term
Care Setting”AMDA – Dedicated to Long Term Care Medicine (AMDA), the professional association of medical
directors, attending physicians, and others practicing in the long term care continuum, is
dedicated to excellence in patient care and provides education, advocacy, information, and
professional development to promote the delivery of quality long term care medicine.

CHARACTERISTICS RECOMMENDED FOR THE
IDENTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION OF ADULT
MALNUTRITION (UNDERNUTRITION)
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy) and the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.) recommend that a standardized set of diagnostic characteristics be used to identify and document adult malnutrition in routine clinical practice.
An etiologically based diagnostic nomenclature that incorporates a current understanding of the role of the inflammatory response on malnutrition’s incidence, progression, and resolution was proposed.

Dining Practice Standards &
CMS Support
www.pioneernetwork.net
2/12/2014
13
Why were Dining Standards created?
Food and Dining are core components of quality of life and quality of care.
How are we currently doing?
- Food consumption
- Supplement Usage
- Weight loss
- Malnutrition
- Customer Satisfaction
25
Why were these standards created?
1. Food consumption: 50-70% of residents leave 25% or more of their food uneaten
2. Supplement Usage: 60-80% of residents have an order for a dietary supplement
3. Weight loss: 25% of residents experienced weight loss when research staff conducted standardized weighing procedures over time
4. Malnutrition/Under-nutrition: 23-85% prevalence
26
2/12/2014
14
4. Food and Dining: Integral part of individualized care and self-directed living
• Food and dining requirements are complex when advancing models of culture change
• Food and dining are significant elements of daily living
• CMS receives more questions and concerns focused on dining and food policies in nursing homes than any other area.
Why?- continued
Food and Dining Clinical
Standards Task Force
This task force was comprised of:▫ symposium experts and national standard
setting (from many different organizations)▫ Goal : “Establish nationally agreed upon
new standards of practice supporting individualized care and self-directed living versus traditional diagnosis-focused treatment.”
28
2/12/2014

Who supports the standards?• American Association for Long Term Care Nursing (AALTCN)• American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordination (AANAC)• Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly American Dietetic
Association (ADA))• American Medical Directors Association (AMDA)• American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA)• American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP)• American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)• Association of Nutrition and Foodservice Professionals (ANFP)• Gerontological Advanced Practice Nurses Association (GAPNA)• Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing (HIGN) • National Association of Directors of Nursing Administration in Long Term
Care (NADONA/LTC)• National Gerontological Nursing Association (NGNA)Representatives from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Division of Nursing Homes, the US Food & Drug Administrators & the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention
29
The Dining Practice Standards Document
Includes the following new Standards of Practice:
1. Individualized Nutrition Approaches/Diet Liberalization 2. Diabetic/Calorie Controlled Diet 3. Low Sodium Diet 4. Cardiac Diet 5. Altered Consistency Diet 6. Tube Feeding 7. Real Food First 8. Honoring Choices 9. Shifting Traditional Professional Control to Support Self
Directed Living10. New Negative Outcome Focus

• Focuses on ELDERLY population in LTC facilities
• However, the document’s overarching theme is the support of individualized care and of resident’s choice, which applies to all age groups.

• A general guideline for determining baseline daily
