Assessment Tools
PainCAS: Clinical Assessment System is a web-based clinical tool for assessing pain and opioid risk in chronic pain patients. It streamlines and standardizes the pain and opioid risk assessment processes in the clinical setting, taking it “off the clipboard” and putting it into an electronic format. PainCAS offers initial and follow-up pain questions that include validated risk assessment tools. It also offers the opportunity to analyze de-identified, aggregate assessment data for evaluation of different treatments and procedures and outcome measurement.
PainEDU.org offers interactive and downloadable pain management and assessment tools in various topics. Topics include drug-drug interactions, analgesics side effects, pathophysiology of pain, role of opioid rotation in managing chronic pain, medication safety and managing pain: opioids and OTC medications, and more great topics!
