| Description | An Observation resource as defined by the Dutch Health and Care Information models (Dutch: Zorginformatiebouwsteen or ZIB) FLACCpainScale v1.0(2017EN).
The FLACC (Faces, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability) is a pain assessment tool, that is used to assess pain in children aged 0-7 years old by observing their behaviour.
The FLACC has five subscales that need to be addressed. The final score indicates whether the observed child suffers pain and 'how much'. The score is often combined with a NRS-score that is completed by the nurses on basis of clinical experience. |
| Purpose | # Purpose of HCIM
A pain assessment instrument is a tool in determining the intensity of pain and can be useful in order to determine the effectiveness of pain treatment interventions (pharmacological or non-pharmacological). For young children, it is nevertheless difficult to differentiate between pain or distress/anxiety. This difference is relevant in determining the treatment. The score on a pain assessment instrument remains a snapshot in time. |
