Community teams will now have the ability to start SSNAP records in the community, such as those referred for therapy by a GP. (The proforma and helpnotes for this dataset has been attached below)
This is a limited function meant for data entry for patients who do not have a previous acute record and were not treated by an acute team on SSNAP. If the patient was treated by an acute team on SSNAP, the acute team should be starting the record. This function must only be used after the community team have ensured that patient does not exist on the regular webtool. Community teams must check with the previous teams to make sure there is not already a SSNAP record for the patient (that has not been transferred to the community team).
If a record is eventually transferred to a community team, you should contact SSNAP helpdesk (ssnap@kcl.ac.uk) to request that the record be deleted from the non-acute stroke section. The community team will then have to re-enter their data on the record that was transferred from the acute team.
