The foundation of new TENA Solutions

The continence care pathway is the foundation of new TENA Solutions. At TENA, we work closely with nursing homes to identify real care needs. Based on these needs we have created a unique assortment that optimizes each step along the continence care pathway, further enhancing person-centred care.

Outcomes

Review and evaluate care outcomes

Care plan outcomes should be reviewed and evaluated regularly to identify where improvements can be made. This is done using the TENA Review and Follow-Up Report. With this information, care plans can be adapted if required to ensure quality of care.

As a customer of TENA, I think that other customers could expect to find lower change rates, lower costs as a result of using this and ultimately better service for the residents.
