[Dysphagia] Off topic (orders)

[neurosp at aol.com (neurosp at aol.com)]

Does anyone know of any speech language pathologists who have been approved by their hospitals to write orders directly in the "physicians orders" section, without needing to be co-signed by a physician??  Please advise.

Subject: [Dysphagia] FEES Protocol


Does anyone out there have a protocol that they are using in an acute
care hospital for FEES?  We are looking into starting this procedure
here at my hospital and I am gathering as much information as I can.  I
practice in PA, where we are NOT able to pass the scope; however, I do
have an ENT that is willing to team up with us to complete the studies.
 
Any policies/procedures/protocols you may have will be welcomed!
 
Thank you for your time.
 
Happy Holidays!
