   From the DON’s Desk to the Boardroom: The Real Root Cause

   In this LTC NAC chat podcast episode, host Kim Hicks sits down with Jackie Vance, the Real Nurse Jackie, and gerontologist Amy Chidester to argue that incontinence isn't a hygiene task. It's the hidden root cause behind falls, skin breakdown, and UTIs. They trace how unmanaged incontinence drives survey citations, litigation, antibiotic overuse, and lost revenue, and how DONs can take that case from the floor to the boardroom.
