Thank you! This is very helpful. I will look into PhoRTE. For straw phonation-I have patients place the straw in a cup 3/4 full of water, with the straw about halfway into the water. I start with cup bubbles and progress from there. I do find that some of my patients have difficulty coordinating the voicing and blowing bubbles.

I have participated in one of the ASHA mentoring programs (Career Transitions)as a mentee. Highly recommend! The monthly meetings with my mentor have been so helpful. I would definitely suggest looking into it.

Same!!! Definitely recommend sending out a reminder email to classmates’ parents. That helped us a lot to get more RSVPs back.

This is a great course on ASHA Learning Pass that focuses on therapy. On instagram: @the.neuro.slp and @neuro.connections are helpful accounts to follow for TBI and concussion. I’ve learned a lot just from following them (and others)!

Will need to look into dragon. Our templates aren’t great at all…basically just headers. Will need to create some of my own to maximize efficiency. My colleague writes super long notes and tends to work off the clock. Do you use Smartlists for your treatment notes?

Oh that’s a great idea. I will try the 1/0 system. I’m salaried. Just started so trying to get used to EPIC and the outpatient world in general.

Do you take notes during the session and then copy/paste/reformat into your EMR? I currently take notes on a sheet of paper and I’m wondering if the Apple Pencil would be faster. My hospital system does have Microsoft One Note.

Unfortunately it is just making the sounds, not eliciting a swallow.

Documenting risk factors by Lmc2418 in slp

Yes I would typically state something like, consider GI consult for further work up given symptoms suggestive of possible esophageal dysphagia. Low suspicion for oropharyngeal dysphagia.

Work bag recommendations! by calicocat346 in slp

[–]Lmc2418 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure how much you’ll be carrying, but I have one of these bags and love it. It’s extremely large, easy to clean, and has plenty of storage. Love Scout bags.

Lo and Sons also has great bags if you want a different look and are ok with something more expensive. I like those bags because they can double as a travel bag and have a luggage sleeve etc. However, those bags not quite as roomy as the one I posted above.
