Instrumental swallowing assessment in adults in residential aged care homes: Practice patterns and opportunities

CONCLUSIONS: Instrumental swallowing assessment is not being used for the management of swallowing in RACHs in Australia despite a clinical need for ISA and a potential role for ISA to improve swallowing care quality. Lack of timely ISA may fail to meet the complex health-care needs of older adults living with dysphagia in RACHs, increasing their vulnerability to complications of dysphagia and its management.PMID:35938310 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13122
