Hey everyone, just wanting to get some opinions on a situation I run into at work. So I work in the PICU and peds acute setting of a children’s hospital. Iv been getting alotttt of consults on kids who are in the hospital for a week, tops two weeks to do “feeding therapy” on them. Most if not all of these kids are frequent flyers to the hospital who either have g-tubes and established speech therapy outpatient for chronic deficits or with early steps or kids who clearly need to be set up with those services but whose families haven’t gotten around to it etc. I will usually provide some education with these parents on the importance of setting these things up but I don’t ever do actual therapy on these kids because this isn’t an acute problem and we don’t have the time and resources to do those things in a hospital where you’re here for a few days or at worst two weeks. Some of these parents will also request speech therapy if they’re in the hospital because they’re nervous their kids will lose their skills (again a short stay in the hospital shouldn’t do this?) Iv gotten a lot of push back from the physicians who put these orders in after I don’t continue to follow up despite explaining my reasoning. Anyone have some experience with this or if I’m in the wrong what I could be doing instead??
