As Chairman of the OHCA Dietary Council, I want to personally invite you to our 13th annual Dietary Conference to be held at the Conference Center at North Pointe on August 5-6, 2010. Each year we strive to keep you updated on the latest advancements in our field and this year is no exception. With MDS 3.0 and RUGs IV on the horizon, a continued increase in QIS surveys, new guidelines for unintended weight loss and the need to implement the nutrition care process in our documentation, we face many challenges as we embrace the ever changing regulations and recommendations. In addition, we must continue to move forward on our culture change journey by offering liberalized diets and dining choices to those we serve.

If you are looking to stay on the cutting edge with the latest changes in our industry, then mark your calendars for August 5-6, 2010. We hope to see you there!

Chair, OHCA Dietary Council
