PAD
UI management is suboptimal in many nursing homes. Check and change regimens are threatening to dignity and potentially intrusive. Usual care refers to the current practices prevalent in the care unit. For the most part, this comprises manual checking of pads by care staff. Often, this involves touching it to feel if it seems heavy or smells or looking at the pad to see if the wetness indicator on the pad has changed in colour. The introduction of this new technology, compared to usual care, will potentially lead to the more efficient delivery of care, resulting in improvements to care and resident quality of life.
