Cover Story: Many adult inpatients experience urinary continence issues; however, we lack evidence on effective interventions for inpatient continence care. We implemented our co-created inpatient practice-change package, a guideline-based urinary continence care intervention using strategies to address identified barriers and enablers. Following implementation on 11 wards at 9 hospitals, we demonstrated a reduction in the evidence–practice gap in urinary continence care. There were 4-fold increased odds for receiving assessments and management plans and 6-fold greater odds for diagnosis. These improvements were maintained 6 months later. This intervention has improved inpatient continence care and may be generalisable to other wards. View this paper
