The Cost of Dysphagia

Описание: With soooo many nerves and muscles working together to orchestrate a symphony of movements that only takes 1 second to complete on average, the act of swallowing is beautifully complex.

That being said, if one thing goes wrong - especially if it PERSISTENTLY goes wrong - it can turn your health and your finances completely upside down.

In this video, we’re going to discuss the cost of dysphagia.

We’ll discuss the costs associated with inpatient dysphagia, dysphagia at the post acute, skilled nursing level, and then also discuss the ancillary expenditures such as thickeners and unintended consequences of modified diets.

Watch and Enjoy!
