[Dysphagia] Alternative thickeners

In regards to the efficacy of thickeners, would it therefore be useful to get the dietitian involved whenever a patient is put on thickened fluids for swallowing safety? Or would it be necessary to simply recommend to the medical team that the patient be put on IV fluids?
What would be the alternative to recommending the thickened fluids? Swallowing techniques are not considered effective if they are not 'proven' on VFSS.
Kind regards,
Alex
