Modules - Incontinence Management FORMS FOR STEP 2--PROMPTED VOIDING TRIAL Prompted Voiding Procedure (PDF) MDS Recall Subscale (PDF) Data Entry Form (MS Excel file) FORMS FOR ASSESSING INCONTINENCE QUALITY INDICATORS (use together) We worked with researchers at RAND, a southern California think tank, to develop a series of nine quality indicators (QI) related to incontinence care for nursing home residents. Presented as a series of if/then statements, these QIs outline minimally acceptable care for the assessment and treatment of incontinent residents. QIs, writes RAND, "set a minimal standard for acceptable care-standards that, if not met, almost ensure that the care is of poor quality." Based on expert opinion and existing best-practice guidelines, all of our QI-associated assessment and treatment tasks are both related to positive outcomes for residents and feasible for nursing home staff to implement. Use the two QI forms listed above to evaluate incontinence care in your facility. (prev | next)
