Episode 64: Digging into PROMs: Patient Reported Outcome Measures with Bonnie Slavych, PhD, CCC-SLP Apr 21, 2020

Show notes

As our practice embraces a patient-centered care model, PROMs - Patient Reported Outcome Measures, can help identify patient’s concerns and measure the progress of therapy to address those complaints. Bonnie Slavych answers the important questions of what a PROM is, what it does, and how to use it in your practice. These are simple tools to incorporate into your practice that can help steer your evaluation process to ensure the patient’s goals are foremost in the creation of the plan of care. PROMs can also give us valuable qualitative and quantitative data to report in our discharge notes regarding the impact therapy has had on the patient’s impairments.

Episode 61: The Dark Side of Dysphagia: Why We Need the Dysphagia Outreach Project with Hillary Cooper, MA, CCC-SLP Apr 14, 2020

Show notes

If you’ve worked with patients with dysphagia, you’ve probably experienced that feeling of trying to treat a patient who cannot afford dysphagia supplies. Since insurance doesn’t often cover dysphagia supplies such as thickener, adaptive feeding equipment, or therapy tools such as RMST devices, many individuals with dysphagia just go without. In this episode, we will talk to Hillary Cooper about how she had had enough of the madness, decided to take matters into her own hands, and created The Dysphagia Outreach Project.
