SI Update on IDDSI Framework and IDDSI Functional Diet Scale

Hello Everyone,

SNOMED International and the International Dysphagia Diet Initiative have signed an agreement to incorporate the IDDSI Framework v2.0 content into SNOMED CT enabling use in electronic records globally. 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 framework provides a common terminology to describe food textures and drink thickness.

Please see the Briefing Note for the Member Forum and Content Managers Advisory Group - Dec 2022 regarding the addition of content to support the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) Framework for more details.

Any feedback on this content is appreciated.

Thank you,
Madison
