Australia’s Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards are coming in November — how can PainChek® help?

Our digital pain assessment tool supports compliance with key criteria in Standard 5: Clinical care, including:

- Pain (5.5.8)
- Cognitive impairment (5.6)
- Palliative and end-of-life care (5.7)

But we go further. PainChek® directly contributes to a safe, person-centred care environment in which staff are empowered to do their best, and residents are comfortable and engaged with their community.

That’s why PainChek® aligns with all seven Strengthened Standards:

1. The individual
2. The organisation
3. The care and services
4. The environment
5. Clinical care
6. Food and nutrition
7. The residential community

Lutheran Services implemented PainChek® in 2021. Today, PainChek® informs the organisation's treatment and management approaches. In cases where interventions aren’t effective, PainChek® pain assessments provide clinical information that can be reviewed by the medical team to inform clinical decisions around medication management.

Melanie Wagner, Chief Clinician and Nurse Practitioner, Lutheran Services Southern Region, shared:

“PainChek® is a great tool as it enables clinicians to assess pain even in residents with dementia or other forms of cognitive impairment, and takes into consideration that not all residents present the same way in relation to pain.”
