A Care Model for Management of Faecal Incontinence for Clients Receiving Care in their Home - Final Report (PDF 423KB)
By reviewing articles dated from 1992 to 2001 on bowel incontinence, bowel management and health care, this project reviewed RDNS bowel care policies and procedures to ensure they reflect current evidence-based best practices. A Care Model and 1-page Protocol describing a process for assessment, care, service coordination and support for clients experiencing faecal incontinence was produced.
