![Happy International Women's Day from @driqhealth !
Older #women are twice as likely to be #incontinent as older men.
In #DriQHealth 's quest to deliver #TheFutureOfIncontinenceCare via #DataDrivenDignity , our #IoT #enterprise solution directly benefits #QualityOfLife for #LongTermCare #Residents who have incontinence, as well as, for their #CareProviders
DriQ #UserExperienceTrials have commenced in several facilities and it has been gratifying to see how pleased both groups are with the platform. This image depicts a direct quote from one #Nurse participating in a trial.
The Nurse's ability to leverage DriQ real-time alerts to change a soiled brief shortly after a wetting event, has enhanced quality of life for her (she can prioritize tasks more effectively and engage more meaningfully with the Residents and her colleagues) and for the Residents she cares for.

Many of these Residents have incontinence and #DriQHealth is the only #IoT #enterprise #incontinence #monitoring platform available to provide #DataDrivenDignity and #TheFutureofIncontinenceCare (and more!)

Most healthcare staff will tell you that the best way to maintain or enhance skin integrity for an individual with incontinence is to change their wet brief as soon as possible. The industry is challenged by staffing vacancies, staff illness in the midst of the ongoing #covid19 #pandemic and also call-outs during severe weather events.
.
.
A fun meal to honor and recognize these Team Members is always a kind gesture, but perhaps this is the year you invest in providing them with adjunctive technology to help them prioritize their work (cleanse and change the Resident who has been wet the longest) to enhance their #QualityofWorkLife and the #QualityofLife of the individuals they care for.

Giving Care Providers the tools to facilitate a more efficient work day, will leave them with more time for the equally important interpersonal interactions and conversations with Residents and with colleagues.]()

#seniorcare facilities tend to operate on very thin margins, so this may not be surprising news. Especially amidst the global #covid19 #pandemic and many unanticipated expenses.
.
.
@driqhealth not only provides an #IoT #enterprise solution for #incontinence management but has dramatic downstream impacts on many aspects of a thriving senior living facility:
.
.
-Super-efficient Care Provider work flows since adult briefs and hygiene are only performed when needed
-Labor Optimization from a better understanding of Resident voiding patterns and matching staff numbers and skill mix to unit-based labor demands
-Enhanced quality of care for Residents since Care Providers have more time to interact with them in a meaningful way vs running around the unit checking briefs for soiling
-Enhanced Quality of Work Life, Talent Acquisition, Retention & Engagement of Senior Care employees due to Facility investment in an adjunctive technology to enhance Resident and Staff Safety and Quality of Life

For many of us, our parents greatly influenced the people we later became as adults. Martin Luther King, Jr. also attributed the shaping of his character to his father and mother.
As we honor the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr., don't forget to honor those who dedicated their lives to caring for ours.

Most #CareProviders of #seniors are older adults themselves (especially the aging #nursing and #nursingaide #workforce) and are at greater risk of injury moving heavy loads like this, multiple times each week.

The availability of #realtime #alerts for #incontinence events enables #CareProviders to change diapers in a timely fashion to prevent #urinarytractinfection and other problems. It also prevents against dry diapers being changed unnecessarily, which can put Care Providers at increased risk of #workplace #injury, #workerscompensation #claims and also increase the pounds of waste ending up in a landfill unnecessarily. Unnecessarily changing dry diapers can also lead to unnecessary spend in #supplycosts.

This quote, attributed to #NelsonMandela , bears greater significance in today's #covid19 #pandemic - with work and home life as we know it, forever changed.
As just one example of many: remote #WorkfromHome is now being done by the entire family. Each family member (and businesses) are better understanding the benefits and burdens of this model.
Businesses benefit if they are able to forgo the overhead expense of office space for staff for whom this model makes sense. Workers may benefit from better #WorkLifeIntegration , enhanced #wellness with enhanced #productivity and more quality interaction with their family and pets. Worker connectivity and collaboration are still posible with available technology to facilitate this (e.g., #zoom , #slack and in #healthcare for patient visits: #telemedicine and #remotepatientmonitoring ). Staff is better equipped and judicious in accurately identifying instances where face-to-face communication and collaboration is essential.
