How does the platform run a structured pain management program for verbal and non-verbal residents?
Pain is the most under-documented and under-managed condition in senior housing & care. Residents who cannot articulate their pain get PRN medications reactively, with no structured assessment and no tracking of what works.
Detail
The system supports multiple validated pain scales — numeric, FACES, and behavioral observation for non-verbal residents. Each pain management plan includes both medication and non-pharmacological interventions, tracked separately for effectiveness. A 30-day pain trend overlays interventions so it is visible when an approach stopped working. Every PRN pain med is tracked from administration through follow-up, building an evidence base of what works for each resident.
Structured pain management reduces PRN medication use by approximately 25% while improving resident satisfaction because pain is managed proactively rather than reactively.
