Feedback from the Case Study for Regents Garden. This was recently tweeted by PainChek.Introducing PainChek® to our residents “Having the evidence to support a pain diagnosis has often proved difficult when caring for people with dementia. Pain and behaviour management often go hand in hand and PainChek® has provided us with a simple but effective tool to diagnose that a person has pain and effectively manage that pain.” “As a result, we now have a number of documented cases of reduced use of behaviour medications (such as antipsychotics) and an improvement in the quality of life for the residents.” “We see the PainChek® application as a valuable addition to our pain management system. The training and support from the staff at PainChek® has been first class and the registered nurses at Regents Garden have embraced this tool and have nothing but praise for the results that we are finding.” Supporting re-accreditation through the Aged Care Quality Commission (ACQC- the accreditation body for aged care services).

The fact that PainChek can play a role in the accreditation of an aged care facility will give it a huge sticky advantage. Sticky as in 'no churn rate'. And since it is the one and only, a monopoly. I wonder when the market in general will realise this about PCK.
