Complete the Speech Language Pathology Form

 

This form can be completed by a speech therapist or pathologist. For additional information, see the Overview of Discharge Orders, Instructions, and the Patient Care Referral Form.

To help clinicians recall what will be seen by the patient, each field with information entered that prints on the Post-Hospital Patient Care Plan (PHPCP) is flagged with the icon. Please keep in mind that information on the PHPCP should be patient-friendly, phrased to be easily understood by people who don't have medical training.
