This project has demonstrated significant improvements in nursing practice related to dysphagia screening and management. The project was successful not only in increasing the knowledge and skills of nurses but also in implementing a formalized process for dysphagia screening and referral. Strategies to sustain practice change should be developed, and regular audit cycles need to be carried out to monitor the process and evaluate outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
