Innovative Collaboration Brings Intelligent Incontinence Monitoring to Two Kansas Care Communities
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GAINESVILLE, Florida (April 7, 2025) – etectRx™, Inc. (etectRx™), a leading digital health sensor company, announces its partnership with Mission Health Communities, marking a significant addition to the growing roster of eBrief™ partners. This collaboration will introduce the eBrief intelligent incontinence monitoring system at two Mission Health locations in Kansas: Rolling Hills Health and Rehab in Wichita and McPherson Health and Rehab in McPherson. The project is set to launch in late Spring 2025.
“We are proud to partner with Mission Health Communities, a premier provider of senior care and skilled nursing services, with a large footprint across the Midwest,” said Eric Buffkin, President and CEO at etectRx. “This partnership is set to enhance the standards of incontinence care at two of Mission Health’s communities with the potential to expand broader to all of their Midwest locations.”
As a mission-driven organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for residents, Mission Health continually seeks innovative solutions that improve care and operational efficiency. The integration of eBrief technology supports this commitment by enabling real-time monitoring of urinary incontinence events through a discreet, disposable, battery-free moisture sensor embedded in incontinence products. This novel sensor technology will provide timely alerts to Mission Health caregivers, ensuring that residents receive immediate and dignified care while also optimizing workflow efficiency.
“At Mission Health, driven by our CARES values of Character, Attitude, Respect, Excellence, and Service, we are always exploring new ways to elevate the standard of care,” said Jacqueline Vance, Senior Director of Clinical Innovation and Education at Mission Health. “The eBrief System provides data that helps us take action to enhance the well-being of our residents, improve staff efficiency, and our bottom line.”
With incontinence care being a significant challenge in skilled nursing settings, the eBrief System offers a transformative approach. By providing caregivers with real-time insights, the technology helps prevent complications associated with prolonged moisture exposure, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and increased comfort for residents.
Karen McDonald, Chief Clinical Officer at Mission Health, emphasized the importance of this collaboration: “Our partnership with etectRx is a testament to our commitment to innovation. eBrief enables our caregivers to respond proactively, improving not just clinical outcomes but also the dignity and experience of our residents.”
This strategic partnership reinforces Mission Health Communities’ commitment to delivering person-centered care and fostering innovative solutions that support the well-being of residents and caregivers alike. The introduction of eBrief marks a significant step forward, as etectRx and Mission Health Communities work together to redefine incontinence care.
