You can record a pain observation at any time from a resident’s profile. Each observation flows through to the pain chart in the web application, forming a continuous timeline of pain‑related entries. The review date you set drives reminders to the Actions tab, helping staff review the individual's pain regularly.
📌 Note: The pain chart is fully client‑configurable. You can customise how pain is captured, add additional options, and choose which assessment fields are required. Pain data is also available in the analytics tools within the web application.
Follow along with our video guide.
