26 Tex. Admin. Code § 554.1104 - Dietary Consultant Requirements
(a)
The facility must ensure a qualified dietitian is available as frequently and
for such time as is necessary to assure each resident a diet that meets the
daily nutritional and special dietary needs of each resident, based upon the
acuity and clinical needs of the resident. The facility must ensure that
monthly dietary consultant hours are provided, at a minimum, as follows:
(1) facility population: 60 residents or
under - eight hours;
(2) facility
population: each additional 30 residents or fraction thereof - additional four
hours.
(b) To meet the
consultant-hour requirement, time is accrued and counted exactly as
rendered.
(c) The facility must
outline consultant services in a signed contract. This requirement does not
apply to a facility that employs a qualified dietitian on the facility's
staff.
