[Dysphagia] FEESS

[pressmah at sjhmc.org (Pressman, Hilda)]

In New Jersey the Speech-Language Pathology Advisory Committee has published requirements for SLPs doing FEES which includes a physician on site and defines that further. You should check with your state association and will also need to check with the medical committee in your facility.  Hilda Pressman

I am currently looking into using FEESS in our acute care hospital-I've always been a proponent of MBSS but recognize the value of FEESS-especially with our ever increasing bariatric patients and other case types...
Could anyone provide input in terms of physician supervision?  Do we look at identifying someone on our hospitalist staff to get training so a physician is always on-site with a knowledge base/skill set or do we strictly have ENT's do the supervision (they are not always on site).  How is this physician supervision addressed elsewhere?
Thanks!
