Review of MannaQure by Dysphagia Ramblings By Mannaqure on December 18, 2015 Dysphagia Ramblings, a place for everyone to discuss and learn about dysphagia, published a review of MannaQure on November 30, 2015. The mission of Dysphagia Ramblings is to inform, educate and share.
The MannaQure assessment is a comprehensive, norm-referenced English to Spanish assessment of dysphagia and dysarthria. In an attempt to meet the demands placed on the monolingual SLP, MannaQure has developed a comprehensive, norm-referenced English to Spanish Dysphagia and Dysarthria Assessment designed to identify, describe, and quantify swallowing and oral-facial deficits in the adult Spanish-speaking population. The review was published on dysphagiaramblings.net. The review refers to the test of the MannaQure assessment, which was normed using 145 participants 21 years and older with with 95 of the participants speaking English as a second language. Participants had a wide variety of neurological diagnoses. The summary provided by Dysphagia Ramblings was "Overall the authors did a very nice job of putting together an easy to use assessment guide that gives a severity rating for your patient."

Are you in Compliance with Meeting the Needs of your Spanish-speaking Patients? By Mannaqure on February 19, 2015 As a fellow provider of healthcare services, do you know if you are meeting the needs of your patients who may be speakers of other languages through the provision of appropriate treatment and services?  In order to meet the Quality-of-Care and Quality-of-Life standards that govern our industry, we are responsible for facilitating a means through which our non-English speaking patients can express their basic wants and needs such as pain, and are thusly responsible for fully meeting their health, safety and matters-of-emergency needs, which includes services to ensure safe eating and swallowing. Meeting the needs of patients with dysphagia and/or dysarthria can be challenging enough given limitations in the availability of Speech-Language Pathologists, particularly in rural areas. Add to limited bilingual staffing demands, coupled with the dubious question of "what to do when the patient speaks little or no English" and you could be placing your facility at risk for penalties imposed upon our industry. Don't face this language-barrier alone. The developers of MannaQure learned through clinical practice that we as healthcare providers need to be able to do more than simply 'dispense the pleasantries' to our Spanish-speaking patients. In an attempt to meet the demands placed on the monolingual healthcare or therapy provider, MannaQure has developed a comprehensive, norm-referenced English-to-Spanish Dysphagia and Dysarthria Assessment designed to identify, describe, and quantify swallowing and oral-facial deficits in the adult Spanish-speaking population. This comprehensive battery is intended to be used in developing an individualized treatment approach and provides a unique Functional Pronunciation Guide to get you through this hurdle. MannaQure may be used with your English-speaking patients as well!
