CONDUCT WETNESS CONTROL CHECKS
We developed, tested, and validated a standardized procedure that you can use to conduct continuous quality control checks of your prompted voiding program.
Click here to review these procedures.
The control checks (they take about 15 minutes a week to complete) allow you to compare the percentage of incontinent residents found wet at any given point in time to the percentage who should be wet if the prompted voiding program is working as expected. If the "actual" percentage exceeds the "expected" percentage, there's a problem, and it needs further analysis if you intend to resolve it. Typical problems stem from changes in a resident's status or break-downs in the prompted voiding work process.
If your facility offers prompted voiding to FIT participants, then a staff nurse should take the time to conduct weekly control checks. They're the best method for ensuring the integrity of this service.
