A Database Information Storage and Reporting System for Videofluorographic Oropharyngeal Motility (OPM) Swallowing Evaluations

Abstract
This article describes a computer database system for standardized recording and reporting of information regarding videofluorographic oropharyngeal motility (OPM) evaluations of swallowing. The system was custom-designed to fit the administrative, clinical, and research needs of the University of Chicago Center for Speech and Swallowing Disorders. No knowledge of programming languages was required to design the system. The system is described as it is used to track patient information and financial data as well as to store and report findings of OPM studies. The system is presented as a model from which similar multifunction database programs may be designed to serve the needs of professionals involved in assessment and management of swallowing disorders.
