Although research on the outcomes of the treatment of voice disorders is widely discussed, there is a lack of information regarding the specifics of the methods and tasks undertaken during the therapy sessions. One reason may be a lack of a clear, standardized method of documentation for the voice therapy. Therefore this article discusses the development of a new electronic documentation system for voice therapy. The goals of this documentation system are to create a user-friendly, flexible system, which implements the standard terminology and structure proposed in the recent voice therapy taxonomy (Van Stan, Roy, Awan, Stemple, & Hillman, 2015). This documentation system stores all the information from the therapy session in a local database, which is accessible for analysis within or between patients. This allows large-scale datasets to be compiled for future clinical research. This documentation system includes definitions for all terminology, and includes hierarchies, which are not required, but can be followed for additional structure. This documentation system can be used as a teaching tool, with the ability to accommodate the needs of both the novice and expert clinician.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
