      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. 

      • TENA Review & Follow-Up Report

      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.
