I've only ever worked in outpatient with MBS capacity, most of my time has been acute care. I started a new position and am starting a FEES program. How do you work referrals for outpatient FEES?
The main clinic I'm associated with feels that if they write orders for "evaluation and treatment of dysphagia with FEES as indicated" for each swallow eval, I'll be good and can complete them as needed. It makes sense to me and sounds pretty direct. I'm planning on including it in my POC (and in my episode smart form for you epic users) when needed. In my head, I can complete my bedside and make a POC in the first session as well as educate the pt on the FEES. It seems simple so I'm worried I'm doing something wrong lol. Any big roadblocks to think about for outpatient FEES? I will be doing them inpatient too, but starting an inpatient program seems much more familiar to me
