[Dysphagia] dysphagia diets

[LLORTEAU at sbgh.mb.ca (Lindsey Lorteau)]

The default in our facility when a "dysphagia diet" is ordered is Pur?ed texture and Honey-thick #2 liquids.  We usually specify which particular texture and liquid consistency we want though.

Hi All,
Does anyone want to weigh in on what their facility/agency includes in a
'dysphagia diet'.  Our dietary dept. is considering adding another category
(e.g, minced with no bread or 2 consistency foods) and titling it a
dysphagia diet.  
What have others done and are you happy with the diet system?
Any and all responses would be appreciated.
Kim
