Starting records on SSNAP:
As an acute team you will be responsible for starting records. Only certain types of strokes should be captured on a SSNAP record.
As a non-acute team you will not be responsible for starting records.
Help notes:
There are helpnotes available to help complete dataset questions.
How to use the webtool:
|
Locking |
Once sufficient data has been entered, records can be locked. Only ‘locked’ data are included in SSNAP analysis. |
|
|
Unlocking |
If you have made an error in data entry or you have more data to add, you should unlock the record. |
|
|
Reversing a transfer |
If you transfer a record to the incorrect team or identify an error in the record after transfer you will need to request the next team transfer the record back to you to amend. |
|
|
Deleting |
A deletion can be requested if a record was duplicated, diagnosis has changed from stroke or the record was started at the wrong team. |
|
|
Transferring a record |
Once you have entered the data for a patient, you can transfer the record in Section 7 of the dataset. |
Doing an export:
Teams can check data they have entered into the webtool by exporting it; the export file can be used to double‐check the records, particularly before data submission deadlines for SSNAP reports. Please note you will need the 7-zip software for an export.
Importing data onto SSNAP webtool:
The first hospital treating a patient is able to import their data onto SSNAP, rather than entering the answers into the webtool directly. You can also read about the import function here.
