Introducing Sedation Scores For Enhanced Resident Care

On the 30^th of September 2025, MediMap is launching an enhancement to enable users to record Sedation Scores. This new feature provides users with vital insights into residents' responses to opioid and sedative medications, empowering safer prescribing and more informed medication management. 

Key Features

Integrated Sedation Assessment Tool (SAT): Sedation Scores are

seamlessly built into the medication administration and review workflows,

using the industry-standard SAT scale ranging from -3 to +3.

Comprehensive Resident Monitoring: Sedation Scores appear alongside

Pain Scores, offering a holistic view of resident responses to medication.

Compliance with Australian and New Zealand Standards: Fully aligned

with Australian Digital Health Agency guidelines, ensuring regulatory

compliance and consistent documentation practices.

Benefits

Enhanced Clinical Decision-Making: Access to both Sedation and Pain

Scores supports more informed decisions when prescribing and administering

sedatives and opioids.

Improved Medication Safety: Provides greater visibility into sedation levels,

reducing risks associated with over-sedation or under-treatment.

Streamlined Documentation: Clear and consistent recording of Sedation

Scores across resident charts improves communication among care teams

and ensures audit readiness.

How It Works Using the new feature is effortless:

• Administer medications or review resident charts as usual.

• Sedation Scores will automatically display alongside Pain Scores in the

relevant workflows.
