Research Problem Statement, Revised

The problem to be addressed in this study is the lack of consistency in interpretation of Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) exams in acute hospital settings

Post #1: Research Problem Statement

Research problem statement:

There is a lack of consistency in interpretation of FEES (Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing) exams in acute hospital settings

Justification for this study:

-This lack of consistency can put patients at risk of being on the wrong diet, either too conservative or too stringent.

-The connection with consistency in interpretation of Modified Barium Swallow studies has been more extensively researched, very little research has been devoted to this topic with FEES exams
