Functional Oral Intake Scale

The Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) is a 7-level scale used to assess a patient's oral intake abilities. A healthcare provider observes the patient's ability to chew, swallow, and consume foods of varying textures and thicknesses. The provider then determines the FOIS level that best matches the patient's oral intake capabilities, taking into account any modifications needed for pureed or thickened foods. The scale ranges from nothing by mouth to a total oral diet with no restrictions.
