Every year in Connecticut, about 17,000 adults are diagnosed with diabetes, a serious chronic condition. They can offer extra support, like a referral to a diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) program. For that reason, everyone’s experience with diabetes is different, and treatment isn’t one-size-fits all.

I’ll make the important distinction between gastritis – which is diagnosed only via endoscopy – and dyspepsia, the term best used to describe the symptoms many patients experience. Endoscopy, upper GI and endoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosing gastritis. Non invasive H. Non invasive H. pylori in the kid.

So, if it’s a hospitalized patient, usually the referral will come through to the SLP service. You see something on a bedside swallow, or on a FEES, you’re diagnosing what you think it is.

Should eligibility and access be determined by clinician referral? If we move away from clinician referrals as the means by which people get access, how do we keep the clinicians engaged, and not enraged? We can’t possibly meet the needs of all people with newly diagnosed serious illness. It depends on the referrals.

In many, many, many of these studies, they excluded people with severe mental health distress, so certain mental health diagnoses were exclusion criteria from a palliative care study.
