[Dysphagia] wait for swallow study for kids

[LiWalsh at serha.ca (Walsh, Linda)]

At our hospital, we provide swallow studies for all ages.  Our goal is to
provide service based on patient need so wait times vary.  For inpatients,
the wait is 0-3 days depending on priority and staff availability.  For
outpatients, there is more variability in wait time depending on total
numbers of referrals and priorities.  High priority cases are seen within a
few days but low priority cases may wait several weeks.  The high priority
cases for children tend to be admitted to hospital and are seen within a
couple of days.  Outpatient referrals for children are prioritized in the
same way as those for adults but tend to be ranked more urgent than many
adults, so they are generally seen within 3-10 days.
