Addressing Incontinence in Home Health: An Occupational Therapist's Perspective

Addressing Incontinence in Home Health: An Occupational Therapist's Perspective

Subscribe now, and access clinical education and patient education—anytime, anywhere—with video instruction from recognized industry experts.

Incontinence in older adults increases fall risk, potential urinary tract infections, skin breakdown, depression, social withdrawal, fatigue, and embarrassment. Occupational therapy professionals can improve clients' quality of life by addressing bowel and urinary incontinence more thoroughly when the client is enrolled in home health. If OT professionals do not integrate incontinence treatment strategies into their interventions, clients with the issues listed above are put at risk unnecessarily, and it can even lead to re-hospitalizations.

Please note: at the time of filming, occupational therapy practitioners did not complete OASIS assessments. As of January 2022, occupational therapy practitioners can now perform this task. Please refer to this course for more information: OASIS-E: Sections H, I, J, and K
