What is it about?
Dysphagia management is often viewed through a biomedical lens, focusing primarily on curative measures. Patient-centered care may not be adequately supported by this model. Backward design in dysphagia management begins with the patient's end goal to drive the plan of care; thus, promoting more equitable, inclusive, and quality care for people of diverse backgrounds.
Why is it important?
Our proposed paradigm shift encourages clinicians who provide services to persons with dysphagia to develop a management plan based on the patient's unique goals, taking all cultural factors into consideration. We offer practical techniques and tenants to incorporate the stages of backward design into dysphagia practice.
