Pilot Trial of a Speech-Language Pathology Telehealth Service to Enhance Postdischarge Dysphagia Care in Singapore.

Purpose: Patients and caregivers in Singapore experience issues managing dysphagia care at home following hospital discharge, and they prioritized improving access to postdischarge dysphagia care and support. Hence, a postdischarge dysphagia telehealth service was developed. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of this service by examining patient and service outcomes, preliminary costs, and consumer satisfaction.

Using concept mapping to guide dysphagia service enhancements in Singapore: Recommendations from the speech-language pathology workforce.

Purpose: Optimising dysphagia service delivery is crucial to minimise personal and service impacts associated with dysphagia. However, limited data exist on how to achieve this in Singapore. This study aimed to develop prioritised enhancements that the speech-language pathology workforce perceived as needed to improve dysphagia services in Singapore.

Identifying prioritised actions for improving dysphagia services in Singapore: Insights from concept mapping with patients and caregivers.

Background: Person-centred services are inherently related to patients/caregivers' needs. However, the extent to which dysphagia services within Singapore meet consumer needs is largely unknown. Involving patients/caregivers in service evaluation/redesign deepens the understanding of consumer needs.
