A health economic analysis of ‘A novel implementation of best evidence practice for incontinence-associated dermatitis’ (IMBED)
There was a significant decrease in mean total product cost per incontinence care episode in the intervention group. There was no significant change in mean total incontinence care cost per episode associated with the intervention, suggesting hospitals adopted IMBED with minimal extra expenses. There was streamlined resource usage and reductions in products not supported by evidence-based guidelines.
