Abstract
Speech therapy as a health profession is experiencing a great development in recent years and is making significant efforts to incorporate the principles of evidence-based practice to their performances. Improving academic training in the university context along with better access to research have been the cornerstones of this development. As a result, an increased scientific output in each of the aspects of our discipline can currently be observed. Furthermore, professionals are trying to open new fields and policy areas where hospital services did hitherto restablecinot contemplate the intervention of speech therapists and where their contributions can be of vital importance for improving both quality of care and health status and quality of life of patients. A clear example of this can be found in the Region of Valencia, where the Hospital at Home Unit of the Consorcio Hospitalario Provincial de Castellón and the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital Universitario de la Ribera in Alzira have made pioneering efforts at speech therapy to establish and implement a performance before oropharyngeal dysphagia.
