Introducing a New Incontinence Management System for Nursing Home Residents

We successfully implemented a trial of an innovative adult brief that encouraged skin cleansing during incontinence care. The system was easily and effectively incorporated into the nursing home, was used by CNAs whenever available (97% of the time), and was favored by CNAs. Patterns of incontinence care differed at follow-up with OSIS compared to BW, with fewer linens used, fewer wipes used, and less CNA interruption during care, which may result in greater privacy and comfort for residents.
