- W4386730906 abstract "Abstract Background Dysphagia prevalence in the acute setting is 30%. Managing dysphagia can reduce mortality, length of stay and increase overall quality of life. Use of thickener for patients with dysphagia should be the last alternative. However, in the acute setting due the patient’s respiratory or cognitive status, thickener use is required to manage the risk of aspiration and ensure patients improve clinically. The goal is for discharge prescriptions to contain all the necessary information for patients. The aim of this audit is to investigate the rate of prescription of thickener on patient’s discharge. Methods Two retrospective chart audits of discharge prescriptions were completed (December 2022 and May 2023); pre and post implementation of a new communication strategy for thickener being prescribed. All patients discharged from hospital on thickened fluids were included as identified via Speech and Language Therapy database. The audit investigated the rate of thickener on discharge prescription and documentation in the Kardex. Results Initial audit was completed in December 2022. 20 patients were included. 0% of patients had thickener prescribed on discharge with no (0%) documentation in the Kardex. Re-audit was completed in May 2023, following the implementation of a new communication strategy involving SLTs place a sticker on the Kardex, included 13 patients 77% (10 patients) had thickener prescribed on discharge with the same number (77%; 10 patients) having documentation in the Kardex. Conclusion Improved communication between healthcare professionals results in better patient outcomes and reduces the risk of re-admission. The use of instrumental assessment has enabled SLTs to truly identify those who require thickener, particularly during an acute admission. The SLT department is striving to reduce the use of thickener for patients, however, in those who do require this management option, it is imperative that it is included on their discharge prescription." @default.
