Case 1: Introduction
November is National Bladder Awareness Month, a crucial time to highlight bladder health and the importance of managing incontinence as we age. At etectRx, we believe it is essential to initiate a transformative shift in how we address these issues. This month, we are proud to introduce “A Case for Change,” an article series aimed at breaking the silence surrounding incontinence and fostering vital conversations about its management and support for bladder health.
Long-term care facilities are integral to supporting a significant portion of our senior population, yet they face a critical challenge: managing incontinence care. Our research has uncovered a striking statistic: Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) and caregivers may spend up to 56% of their time on incontinence-related tasks. In an industry already struggling with staffing shortages and increasing regulatory pressures, this figure is alarming and demands immediate attention.
But we are not merely pointing out the challenges; we are also paving the way for effective solutions. Our cutting-edge eBrief™ technology is set to revolutionize incontinence care by enhancing resident dignity and improving health outcomes, all while increasing staff efficiency. With innovations such as instant wetness detection, we are transforming what was once a distant goal into a present-day reality for long-term care facilities.
Through our innovative eBrief™ solution, we are challenging the status quo by emphasizing that incontinence is a critical health concern that should not be ignored. Our intelligent incontinence monitoring system empowers caregivers to take proactive measures against the negative consequences often associated with this condition. Join us in advocating for meaningful change in care practices.
