This tool provides teams with SSNAP data analysis for key measures. It has been designed to aide local reporting and to help teams to identify data submission issues and to improve audit compliance and case ascertainment in reporting.

Teams can use the DIY analysis tool to run their own reports outside of reporting quarters. The tool allows to view SSNAP data for locked records over any time frame chosen.
