Incontinent patients with wounds and infections cannot safely receive radiation therapy due to contamination risks and lack of suction/supplies at the radiation department.
Radiation departments lack protocols, suction equipment, and supplies for managing urinary/fecal incontinence during treatment; existing alternatives (purewick, foley) are contraindicated due to UTI or unavailable.
IncontiRad Protocol App
A digital tool that provides evidence-based protocols and checklists for managing incontinent patients during radiation therapy. It includes a decision tree for urinary/fecal management, highlights contraindications (e.g., Foley with UTI), and alerts staff to prepare necessary supplies like suction or barriers, reducing treatment delays and contamination risks.
- Decision tree for incontinence management with contraindication alerts
- Department-specific supply checklists and equipment requirements
- Flagging high-risk patients (incontinence, wounds, infections) in scheduling
- Integration with EHR to surface patient history and alerts
