Overview of the clinical pathway for ESDED. During the clinical pathway process, the most disturbed phase of swallowing was identified and the etiology of the disturbance was discussed. Based on the diagnosis, the ESAT designed and informed of various interventional strategies to the attending medical staff. This clinical pathway was started on Monday because the examinations could occur only during the same working week.
