title: [Steps to improve the quality of urinary incontinence care].
abstract: Urinary incontinence is a frequent symptom rarely spontaneously reported. This emphasizes the need to address it in every patient. Once disclosed, its origin needs to be specified so that therapeutic issues may be reached. These being often efficient, patient quality of life will improve significantly. In order to improve urinary incontinence management, a multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals of our institution have proposed to spread basic knowledge, screening tools and evaluation scales of this bothersome worldwide symptom. This team enables healthcare providers to unite themselves in a network which will help to orientate patients in order to fulfill their needs.
