FEES Swallowing Testing and Assessment for Facilities
At Diagnostech FEES, we partner directly with healthcare facilities to provide on-site Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES). By bringing both equipment and expertise to your facility, we eliminate the need to transport medically fragile patients to outside clinics. This reduces risk, saves time, and ensures continuity of care for those who need it most.
How We Support Facilities
Our clinicians conduct FEES exams at bedside or in a dedicated space within your building. Results are delivered immediately, with clear visual evidence and detailed reports that allow your speech-language pathologists and care teams to make timely, evidence-based decisions. Because testing happens on-site, patients remain in a familiar environment, minimizing stress and avoiding costly and complicated transfers.
This approach not only improves comfort but also supports better outcomes. By identifying risks such as aspiration, malnutrition, and dehydration early, your staff can intervene before complications occur. The result is safer patient care, fewer readmissions, and stronger compliance with documentation requirements.
Why Facilities Choose Us
Facilities turn to Diagnostech FEES because we operate as an extension of their care team. Fees swallowing testing exams are conducted in a way that integrates smoothly into existing schedules and clinical workflows. Reports are structured to meet payer and accreditation needs, giving administrators confidence in both clinical accuracy and regulatory compliance. At the same time, the service reduces transfer costs and eases the burden on staff who would otherwise have to coordinate outside appointments.
Conditions We Commonly Support
Many of the patients referred for FEES are recovering from stroke or managing conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, ALS, dementia, or general muscle weakness. These populations are particularly vulnerable to swallowing difficulties, making timely, accurate evaluation a critical part of facility-based care.
The Process
When your team identifies a patient with suspected dysphagia, we work directly with your staff to schedule the exam. A trained Diagnostech clinician performs the FEES in your facility, shares results on the spot, and provides documentation that feeds directly into care planning. The process is seamless, safe, and designed to empower your clinical team with the information they need to act quickly.
Diagnostech FEES helps facilities deliver higher standards of care while reducing risk and supporting staff with actionable diagnostics. To explore how on-site FEES can be integrated into your care model, contact us today.
