It’s the biggest issue facilities face… and there are no real industry standards!
Dietary Difference Standards for Weight Accuracy
- Over half of all significant weight loss can be attributed to inaccurately obtained or documented weights.
- This means that your quality measures are impacted by weight losses that never occurred.
We are not afraid to tell you how we solve this problem because no one else will actually do what we do. Our process begins with our RD or DTR working side by side with your staff. We ensure equipment calibration and proper technique and directly observe reweights on all 30-day significant weight changes, thereby eliminating 42-75% of all inaccurate weight loss documentation.
This is just step 1 of our simple and effective weight protocol that changes everything for your residents, including more consultant time spent on addressing confirmed weight loss and dramatic improvements in your Casper Scores and Quality measures. Our QMs run 43-66% less than state and national averages.
Our in-house compliance manager monitors the process off site and results are reported to each facility in QAPI format monthly.
