Incomplete PainChek® Assessments

  • Updated

When conducting a PainChek® Assessment, you may find that you need to obtain some additional details before you can complete the Assessment (e.g. referring to a Resident's medical history or ask a colleague about a resident recent sleeping pattern). The PainChek® App provides a Complete Later feature that allows you to pause the current Assessment so that you can complete it a short time later.

Note

  • We strongly recommend all PainChek® Assessments are completed in one session and as soon as possible after they are started. This will lead to the most timely Assessments and best Resident outcomes.

Limitations

If you have an incomplete Assessment for a Resident, you are not able to start another Assessment for that Resident. You are able to create new Assessments for other Residents.

Reminders

If you chose to use the Complete Later feature, you will be reminded every 30 minutes you have an Assessment to complete.

On the first three reminders, you have three options:

  • Complete - You can complete the Assessment.

  • Delete - You can discard the incomplete Assessment.

  • Later - You can defer completing the Assessment for another 30 minutes.

On the fourth (last) reminder, you have two options:

  • Complete - You can complete the Assessment.

  • Delete - You can discard the incomplete Assessment.

Creating an Incomplete Assessment

1. Start Conducting a PainChek® Assessment.

Note

  • In the example above, the first 5 Domains (green icons) are completed, whilst the last Domain (The Body) is not (red icon).

  • Follow the process documented in Conducting a PainChek® Assessment to complete the Assessment. This includes:

    • Swiping between Domains and updating them to ensure they are all completed.

    • Swiping to the last Domain (The Body) to be able to access the Display Summary button.

    • Tapping SAVE on the Assessment Summary screen.

Note

The PainChek® App may be set-up to provide you with a reminder of required next steps after you have conducted an assessment. These reminders are customised by your organisation and will look similar to the example below.
