A budget impact model accounting for material costs of managing fecal incontinence was developed, and 1 year of experiential data from two hospitals' ICUs were applied to it. Material costs were estimated for traditional methods (ie, use of absorbent briefs/pads, skin cleansers, moisturizers) and compared with material costs of using a modern FMS for both average (normal-range weight) and complex (bariatric with wounds) ICU patients at hospital 1 and any ICU patient at hospital 2. Reductions in daily material costs per ICU patient using FMS versus traditional methods were reported by hospital 1 ($93.74 versus 143.89,averagepatient;143.89, average patient; 143.89,averagepatient;150.55 versus 476.41,complexpatient)andbyhospital2(476.41, complex patient) and by hospital 2 (476.41,complexpatient)andbyhospital2(61.15 versus $104.85 per patient).
