High risks. High costs.
By the numbers: why incontinence episodes need immediate attention.
53% of acute care patients are incontinent1.
This can lead to skin breakdown and a higher risk of falling for patients while contributing to significantly higher costs for medical facilities, including penalties for Hospital-Acquired Condition’s (HAC)’s and lawsuits. Quickly responding to incontinence episodes can greatly improve patient outcomes.
