[Dysphagia] Swallowing on a Plate

[youngd at cope-foundation.ie (Young Denise)]

A recent post mentioned a training program called Swallowing....on a Plate.
I was curious if anyone has used this program training nurses and CNAs and
had any feedback.

Thank you!

Just wanted to send out a thank you to the list for
everyone's helpful responses on my question about who
provides the food for outpatient dysphagia therapy.  I
got a lot of responses off-list in addition to the
responses sent to the list.  I got a lot of different
responses - some SLPs are asking patients to bring
food in from home, and some are providing all p.o.
trials through the clinics.  

I think I will plan to typically ask patients to bring
in food from home (which of course is the most
functional since its what they would typically eat)
but I will plan to have a small stockpile on hand of
some "basics" of various consistencies as well.

Thanks to all who responded!

-Sandi

I seem to recall that there was a previous discussion on this listserve
regarding a pathway of care that facilities were using should a patient
get admitted to a Medically acute long term care or sub-acute setting
during the time that an SLP was not immediately available. I would
appraiciate if someone could direct me to the topic/title so that I
could consult the achives. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi Robyn

You may find this of interest:
O'Loughlin, G. and C. Shanley (1998). "Swallowing problems in the nursing
home: a novel training response." Dysphagia 13(3): 172-83.

Various studies suggest that between 50% and 75% of nursing home residents
have some difficulty in swallowing. Some of these residents are assessed and
treated by speech pathologists, but many are managed by nursing staff
without specialist input. A training program called Swallowing ... on a
Plate (SOAP) has been developed by the Centre for Education and Research on
Ageing and the Inner West Geriatrics and Rehabilitation Service to help
address swallowing-related problems in local nursing homes (Inner West of
Sydney, Australia). The training program teaches nursing staff how to
identify, assess, and manage swallowing problems, including making
appropriate referrals. Several new instruments were developed specifically
for this program including two assessment checklists, a set of management
guidelines, and a swallowing care plan. Evaluation of the program--including
3 months follow-up--showed it to be highly successful. A stand-alone
training resource has been produced for w!
 ide distribution to help staff implement the program as a permanent aspect
of their nursing care. This paper describes the development, content,
presentation, resource, and evaluation of the above program.

Regards,

Claire Langdon

I have a question for everyone:  How long do kids usually have to wait
for a swallow study, where you are?

Here, an adult can get a swallow study within 1-3 days at any hospital
in the area, as a routine thing.  If it's an emergency, most hospitals
can do it within 24 hours.

But for a child, only the children's hospital will do a swallow study,
none of the others.  And the wait is 1-3 weeks or more.

Is this the norm?

Lynne
