Prevalence of Bladder or Bowel Incontinence
Info found at: www.chsra.wisc.edu/CHSRA/Quality_Indicators/Nursing_Homes/domaindesc.htm
Residents who were incontinent or frequently incontinent of either bladder or bowel on the most recent assessment. The denominator for this QI excludes residents who were comatose or had indwelling catheters or ostomies at the most recent assessment.
This QI is RISK ADJUSTED. Residents are considered more likely to be incontinent if they have a severe cognitive impairment or are totally dependent (self performance) in mobility ADLs (bed mobility, transfer, and locomotion). These residents are at HIGH RISK for incontinence. Those residents who do not have these conditions are considered LOW RISK.
