In Summary mary
- Fees proven to be a useful method of performing instrumental
assessments in in and outpatients across multiple patient populations especially in Acute Stroke.
- FEES has been found to be an alternative to MBS and can be
utilized effectively in the acute care setting
- FEES may allow for early optimal assessment for stroke patients
with medical fragility, dependence on the ventilator, difficulty with positioning, or fatigability
- Quicker instrumental assessment for stroke patients resulting in
earlier swallowing/nutrition plans and facilitating discharge to most appropriate medical setting (e.g., rehab)
- The initiation of FEES has influenced MBS usage at LHSC
- The reduction of MBS usage has the potential to reduce costs for
the organization
