My Choice Family Care and Medline Work Together on Continence Care

New agreement provides products and clinical education to drive
standardization and enhance patient care

NORTHFIELD, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Over
half
of seniors are plagued by incontinence. Providing proper care
is crucial to improving patient outcomes. As the healthcare dollar
continues to shrink, the demand for intervention that produces the best
outcomes rises. That’s why My
Choice Family Care
, a Managed Care Organization in Wisconsin, is
implementing Medline’s Continence
Management Program
to ensure care teams can provide high quality
care to their Members.

My Choice Family Care serves over 8,500 members throughout nine counties
in the state. Nearly 80 percent of those members live at home. This new
agreement is designed to meet the individual needs of members and keep
them in their home longer by educating their care managers on proper
continence care and arming them with high quality products.
Care Teams benefit from in-services hosted by their dedicated post-acute
care sales representative, incontinence supply sample bags, toolkits
that include product sizing tools and patient education designed to help
the member and their family understand incontinence.

“While there is not a uniform approach for managing incontinence, many
caregivers do not know what size products to use on members or how often
patients should be changed. Medline is committed to providing My Choice
Family Care with a unique program that will drive clinical
standardization and help their members live as independently as possible
in their community,” says Lucas Duncan, regional vice president of sales
for the homecare division, Medline.

“My Choice Family Care is pleased to explore new options for better care
for our Members,” said Don Sobczak, My Choice Family Care Contract
Administrator. “We have a great partnership with Medline and are happy
to work with them on providing good information to Care Managers, Nurses
and Members.”
