eBrief eliminates the guesswork and the "dashes." By providing a digital, time-stamped trail of continence care and restorative interventions, the system ensures your MDS coding is backed by objective evidence. This reduces the risk of leaving money on the table due to documentation errors and protects you from the "recoupment" of funds during an audit.

eBrief brings Intelligent Staffing to the HCBS setting. By identifying exactly when each resident needs care, the system allows managers to create staffing patterns that are efficient rather than repetitive.

eBrief provides the documentation shield needed in today's regulatory environment. It proves that your community is delivering "person-centered" care by responding to individual needs in real-time. If a surveyor questions your toileting protocols, eBrief provides the hard data to show that your community is exceeding state standards through automated monitoring.

To drive real, sustainable change, innovation cannot just be a device or a product shipped in a box. It must be a complete, supported program delivered alongside a trusted team of experienced experts.

("etectRx™"), a leading digital health sensor company, today announced an expansion of its partnership with Legato Living, extending the eBrief™ Early Adopter Program beyond its original launch site at Legato's Greater Indianapolis community.

Health Inspections are the bedrock of your 5-Star rating. However, if your facility is struggling with the national staffing crisis, your "Staffing" star may be capped. To hit that elusive 5th star, your Inspections and Quality Measures must be near-perfect to compensate for staffing shortages.

Assisted Living Level of Care (LOC) ratings are determined by the time and intensity required to support a resident. Incontinence is a major "LOC needle-mover" because it rarely exists in a vacuum—it is often tied to complications like skin breakdown, increased fall risk, and cognitive decline, all of which push a resident into more expensive care categories.

For individuals with IDD or physical disabilities who work in the community, managing incontinence at a job site can be a major stressor.

ALACHUA, Florida (July 15, 2026) – etectRx™, Inc. (etectRx™), a leading digital health sensor company, today announced the expansion of its partnership with Mission Health Communities, building on the success of the eBrief™ Early Adopter Program first launched at McPherson Health and Rehab in McPherson, Kansas.

Did you know that 4 out of the 5 key Quality Measures (QMs) that fluctuate and impact your 5-Star rating are directly tied to incontinence care?

HCBS providers are under increasing pressure to demonstrate high-quality health oversight, specifically regarding skin integrity and infection prevention. In a community setting, a single instance of severe skin breakdown or a preventable UTI can trigger an intensive state investigation and "Critical Incident" reporting that can threaten a provider's license or waiver contract.

The population that can afford a private-pay ALF is looking for more than just a room; they are looking for superior care. In a crowded market, simply saying you provide "great care" isn't enough.

Day programs are centers of activity, social connection, and skill-building. However, for participants living with incontinence, the day care environment can be stressful. Staff at day programs are often managing large groups and may not be familiar with a participant's specific "home" routine.

Incontinence isn't just a nursing issue; it’s a facility-wide operational drag. Wet beds and delayed changes increase the load on laundry, housekeeping, and even therapy.

In an AL community, a single "odorous" hallway or a resident with visible accidents can damage the reputation of every department. It increases the burden on Housekeeping for deep-cleaning carpets, slows down Dining Services when residents are late due to changes, and impacts Marketing when tours encounter a "nursing home smell."

For providers and families in the HCBS space, the biggest hurdle to adopting life-changing innovation is often the "How do we pay for it?" question.

Under the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM), reimbursement is tied to the complexity and necessity of care.

Incontinence fees are a vital revenue stream in Assisted Living, yet many communities undercharge because they cannot accurately quantify the labor involved.

eBrief provides the objective data care teams need to set and monitor ISP goals effectively. By capturing real-time voiding patterns, eBrief allows teams to see exactly where a participant is on their journey toward independence.
