PainChek Intelligent Pain Assessment

Improving confidence and consistency in pain assessment

When introducing PainChek®, the Calvary team focused on strong staff engagement and clear communication to support smooth adoption across sites. Teams continue to receive support using the technology, and are using PainChek® dashboards and data to improve use and understanding of pain trends at both an aged care home and individual level. PainChek® has also been incorporated into nursing orientation programs, helping embed consistent pain assessment practices for new staff.



What teams are seeing since introducing PainChek®

  • More frequent and consistent pain assessments

  • An increase in the number of pain assessments completed

  • More instances of new pain being identified, enabling timely treatment

  • Greater staff confidence in recognising and discussing pain

  • Improved communication with GPs and families

Advice for other healthcare providers

Based on their experience, the Calvary team shared insights for other providers introducing PainChek®:

  • Provide hands-on training so staff feel confident using the tool in everyday care
  • Identify clinical champions at each site to help drive adoption
  • Embed PainChek® into routine workflows, including policy and procedures, to support consistent use
