Sponsor's own description
Hypothesis: Use of a Free Water Protocol (FWP) will improve patient satisfaction scores (Dysphagia Handicap Index), will not increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia/pneumonitis, and will result in improved oral hygiene (as assessed by the Oral Assessment Guide). Aim: To demonstrate that improvement in patient satisfaction and quality of life scores outweighs the potential risks of aspiration of plain water in an acute care setting; to qualitatively assess the implementation of a Free Water Protocol from the viewpoints of the patient and family/caregivers; to quantify changes in oral hygiene practices for individuals on the Free Water Protocol.
