BENEFITS OF COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT
There may be several reasons for skipping critical assessment tasks--lack of time, staff inexperience, and unfamiliarity with recommended guidelines--but none of them qualifies as a legitimate excuse for substandard care.
Besides, if you give this first step the attention it deserves, your facility, residents, and staff will reap the benefits:
- Residents with reversible causes of urinary incontinence will get proper treatment, which in turn will help them maintain their independence.
- Staff will be able to better target time-consuming toileting assistance to residents who truly need it.
- And your facility may score better on publicly reported quality measures that reflect the quality of incontinence care.
