Person-centered means focusing on what makes every resident unique, discovering what's important to them, and putting their needs first. But to do this, you have to understand those needs.
TENA SmartCare Identifi™ is a digital solution designed to help carry out an accurate continence assessment. This assessment provides professional caregivers with the information they need to truly understand the individual challenges each resident is facing.
With TENA SmartCare Identifi as part of your continence assessment, your residents will benefit from a higher standard of person-centered care. Your nursing home will also benefit as TENA SmartCare Identifi is proven to help create greater value - from resident wellbeing and staff satisfaction to a more efficient use of time and resources and greater environmental sustainability.

Result is based on a clinical trial (data on file/publication link) and a Life Cycle Assessment performed by Essity and third-party reviewed. Assumptions on day- and nighttime leakage, giving different laundry volumes, were based on internal Essity data on file. Absorbent product environmental impact was based on raw material acquisition, production, transport and waste handling.
