The National Minimum Data Set (NMDS) contains standardized information on patient care and trends, including information on incontinence and prompted voiding programs, which can be used to examine the effectiveness of such programs in reducing the frequency of incontinence in patients. While the NMDS may also provide some sociodemographic and population-based trends, as well as information on medical diagnoses and pharmacologic interventions, these are not as directly relevant to the chosen scenario as the data on patient care and trends. Information on public funding and private health insurance revenues is also unlikely to be directly relevant to this scenario.
