[Dysphagia] weekend staffing

[JBROWN at asha.org (Janet Brown)]

Amy,
ASHA collected data on weekend services on the 2005 Health Care Survey.
You can access it at
http://www.asha.org/about/membership-certification/member-data/healthcar
e_survey.htm --go to questions 20 and 21.

Services are more likely to be provided by regular staff than contract
staff, particularly in pediatric hospitals.

Hi!
I am a slp at a pediatric hospital that provides services on the
weekend.  Just curious if anyone else working in a hospital setting
provides services on the weekend as well and if you do, are per diem
services utilized? If they are, do you have any specific guidelines or
requirements?

Thanks!
