Overview of the webinar
Topics We Will Explore:
The Cost of Educating Your Staff
Your staff must be well informed as to your organizations policies, process and how to communicate consumers their rights, risk and offering alternative choices.The language of caring equips your staff at how to communicate these concerns to your consumers in order to meet their needs.Uniquely in Healthcare settings, consumers at nutritional risk are also at risk for weight loss, these individuals should be referred to your dietitian.Staff members should also be aware of (i)(3) policy regarding use and storage of foods brought to residents by family and other visitors to ensure safe and sanitary storage, handling, and consumption.
The Cost of Not Educating Consumers
Consumers today demand that the food they eat be safe and free from harmful contaminants that cause illness, however, they also request more choices of foods they have access when at home or in the community.This require more and more food service operations take appropriate actions to ensure a safe food supply. Consumers have also demon¬strated that they will hold all these “food suppliers”—in¬deed, all segments of the food supply chain—accountable for foodborne illnesses.

Leveraging Information to Navigate Food Safety and Consumer Concerns .Food safety has become a major topic that must be considered by both institutions and producers within the food supply chain to calculate the risk and reduce the likelihood of not just outbreaks, but closing the gap on consumer preferences, allergies, diet restrictions.Under 483.60 Food & Nutrition Services, §482.28 (Hospital) Food and Dietetic Services, food procurement, production, processing, sales and service your staff must be fully equipped, aware of ingredients, recipes and preparation products to reduce risk.
Food safety training and education of personnel and volunteers must consider the ever-changing dynamics, and necessary intervention in the food chain.CMS solely recognizes the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Food Code and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) food safety guidance as national standards to procure, store, prepare, distribute and serve food in a safe and sanitary manner. Whereas Medicare and Medicaid is not a regulatory agency, all of its regulations, codes, and policies are dependent on CMS Interpretive Guidance issued to state agencies, survey teams and providers that are based on the Food Code for Food and Nutrition Services processes.
Interpretive Guidelines
CMS Interpretive Guidelines are always based on The FDA Food Code which has been adopted by all 50 states, the US territories and most of the tribal Nations.As to "Appropriate Practice Memorandum's and Summary Guidance Memorandums" issues from time to time or when clarification is necessary; relating to "the elimination of risk to residents" or the at-risk populations (children, hospitalized, or older Americans), It is in accordance with recommendation of "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards. Even when resident’s rights are in question, outlined in §483.15(b) "Self Determination and Participation" the guidance is still must not violate basic CDC and or FDA strong advice, as outlined in a recent "Advance Copy of Revised F371" (Preparation of Eggs in Nursing Homes- letter May 20, 2015) (1)Therefore, however the CDC and the FDA strongly advise against serving unpasteurized, undercooked eggs to highly susceptible populations which includes elders and persons residing in LTC facilities.
