Overview
Course ID: ABLO0151
Subject: Speech Pathology
Course Code: P
Instructional Level: Intermediate
Needs Assessment
There is a significant education gap with airway understanding and diagnostics for the clinician in the acute care setting. Physicians ask acute care clinicians for urgent consults for differential diagnosis with the use of videostroboscopy. Clinicians may not be as familiar with the acute clinician’s role in airway diagnostics and the impact it has across the continuum of care. Acute care clinicians are often access points to guide the care plan towards the MDs/community specialists. They support the continuum of care with identification and differential diagnosis in an area of the body that many acute physicians
look to acute care clinicians to troubleshoot. Stroboscopy and upper airway diagnostics fit into acute care diagnostics and consultative triaging to get to appropriate services, clinicians, and to guide treatment.
