So one thing that we found, well, not just us, but it’s very commonly used in the diagnosis and management of incontinence and frail older adults as incontinence, as a geriatric syndrome, is a 48 hours voiding record. Now, again, in the context of a busy clinical visit, you may not have the time to really go through it in detail.

I will say one of the challenges in the field is many hospices don’t know how to take care of children or young people, and so you have these folks in the community who you’re trying to provide services to, and you just can’t connect them to the same types of resources you’re used to using.
