Now more than ever, it’s crucial that clinicians evaluate their
incontinence management programs in order to comply with CMS F315 –
and to understand how residents are impacted by incorrect product usage.
Incontinence management isn't a “one-size-fits-all” issue.
Residents aren’t all the same size. The varying degrees
of incontinence mean that they won't all have the same needs
in terms of absorbency and leakage protection. Level of continence,
skin condition, mobility and circulation can dictate whether residents
would benefit from including nourishing skincare products in their
care plans.
It’s a lot to think about, and it can be confusing. That’s
why Medline developed the Compass Fit Right Program. With this comprehensive
system of educational tools, best-practice protocols and clinical aids,
you can:
• Select the right product based on type of incontinence
• Help your staff promote normal bladder function
• Meet standards of practice
• Improve care outcomes
• Be “survey ready” at all times
The Survey Readiness: Tag F315 box
A key component of the Compass Fit Right Program is the Survey
Readiness: Tag 315 box. This convenient package comes to you full of
resources to help you and your staff take the guesswork out of developing
an effective incontinence management program at your facility.
A Custom Cost Analysis
We know you want to do what’s best for your residents – and
we know that cost is a concern. To help you provide ideal care and
contain costs, Medline will partner with you to create a custom cost
analysis. 
Our team of experts will analyze your facility’s current
incontinence product usage and compare it to industry usage
benchmarks. We'll then create projected patient-per-day costs
based on your facility’s needs.
Follow-up care
Once an incontinence management plan is in place, Medline
helps guarantee it’s a success!
This is done by:
• Developing formulary and par levels
• Providing a disposable incontinence product identification
system
• Implementing a product distribution protocol
• Providing on-site clinical and sales support
Medline will also generate automated reports and continue
to monitor your product utilization costs in terms of your
goals. Based on these reports, possible recommendations and interventions
to lower costs will be presented to you.

Budgeting for a successful incontinence management program
can cause a strain on facilities.
To that end, Medline offers:
• A consignment program to improve
cash flow
