Syste tems ms Thinking g

“Systems thinking organizes complexity into a coherent story that illuminates the causes of problems and how they can be remedied in enduring ways” ~ Peter Senge

12

Syste tems s Think nking ng 101

  • “Integrative thinkers build models rather than choose

between them

  • Consider customers, employees, competitors,

capabilities, cost structures, industry evolution, and regulatory environment

  • View the problem as a whole, rather than breaking it

down and farming out the parts

  • Creatively resolve tensions without making costly

trade-offs, turning challenges into opportunities" http://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/

CASE STUDY 1

  • 71 year old female with history of kyphosis from NH
  • Right Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) stroke, dense left hemiplegia,

unilateral Upper Motor Neuron (UMN) dysarthria on Thursday night

  • Not a TPA candidate
  • Failed dysphagia screening due to left facial droop
  • Seen by SLP Friday a.m. for a clinical swallowing assessment -

inconsistent clinical signs of penetration/aspiration therefore NPO recommended

  • Kyphosis preclude positioning for an MBS
  • Also, no MBS slot until Tuesday
  • FEES completed Friday afternoon – patient initiated on a pureed solids

with regular thin liquids

  • NG tube was avoided
  • Discharged to stroke rehab – day 5

CASE STUDY 2

  • 55-year-old man post brainstem stroke with subsequent

tracheostomy due to aspiration of secretions

  • Admitted to the ICU
  • Dysphagia managed by nasogastric tube
  • Able to follow directions and participate in therapy to rehabilitate the

swallow

  • Repeated FEES studies completed with the goal of providing

biofeedback/visualization

  • First step, learning to swallow secretions and utilizing a volitional

cough to laryngeal vestibule

  • Decannulation in one week with improvement in secretion

management

  • Second step, within two week, patient learned chin tuck maneuver

and initiated a full fluid diet

  • Nasogastric tube removed

The Story So Far….

Questi stion

  • ns
  • 1. How has FEES influenced the number of

patients receiving MBSs?

  • 2. How has FEES influenced the number of

swallowing referrals?

  • 3. How has FEES impacted the use of

instrumental assessments?

  • 4. How has FEES impacted inter-professional

care ?

Why?

  • Fees

es fever er picture re

32

How has s FEES impacted cted inter- professiona essional care e ?

  • Results perceived as more “credible”
  • Greater agreement with recommendations
  • Better understanding of the swallowing

impairment

  • Recognition for contributing towards access

and flow

  • “You can do that today?!”
  • Enhanced professional profile staff

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

38

Acknowl

  • wledgment

gments

  • Drs. Fung and Leasa who provided tremendous

support, expertise, and time in assisting us with the introduction of “FEES” at LHSC

  • Dr. Vanessa Burkoski for recognizing the impact of

FEES on patient care and supporting this significant financial investment

  • Donna Bandur for seeing the potential in FEES and

championing this initiative
