The care need profiles are helpful in finding the right bundle of care for persons with incontinence and their caregivers. The profiles are based on mobility – and cognitive status, and the need for assistance in the process of using the toilet and having absorbent products changed. These are known risk factors for incontinence and incontinence associated dermatitis (IAD). The bundle of care routines and product types per care need profile are recommended to best meet a person’s toileting & containment needs, and facilitate self-management for as long as possible or an efficient care delivery in care dependent persons.

In maintaining good skin health in the perineal area, it is essential to choose the right absorbent product type, absorption level and size, together with the right skin cleansing & protection products and changing on time. In case of Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (IAD), please consult the skin health assessment, IAD prevention and treatment guide.

*An individual assessment is always the key to personalized care, this to understand the users’ needs for toileting assistance and incontinence absorbent product type, absorption level and size, skin cleansing & protection products and the support that can be provided with digital health technology solutions.
