QuickSnap Native Format v4 (Full Detail)

Introduction

QuickSnap Native Format v4 (Full Detail) is a comprehensive file format which contains all the data items required to arrive at any AN-SNAP class in the AN-SNAP v4 Classification.

It is a CSV file format, and the data items and code sets are described below.

Using this file format will allow you to group both Overnight and Ambulatory (Same Day, Community and Outpatient) Episodes (and Palliative Care phases).

Items used in this format

'native' AN-SNAP code sets, which are described below. Please note that the 'native' AN-SNAP code sets are not the same as IPHA's DSS/DRS code sets, despite containing the same 'labels'
individual FIM Items which enable the calculation of 'Weighted FIM Motor' as used in the Admitted Rehabilitation classes for AN-SNAP v4
individual HoNOS Items, and derives HoNOS Total, HoNOS Overactive Behaviour and HoNOS ADL values

If you have a data extract which conforms to the IPHA's DSS/DRS formats you should consider using the QuickSnap DSS Compatible Format v4.

Sample Files

Here are some examples of the QuickSnap DSS Compatible file format:

Excel Template: QuickSnap_Native_template.xlsx - this file contains a header row and is in Excel format - QuickSnap cannot process this file but it displays the column headers for each data item
CSV Sample: QuickSnap_Native_sample.csv- this is a sample CSV file in QuickSnap DSS Compatible format - QuickSnap will be able to process this file

Notes and Assumptions

Impairment Code is the AROC v4 Impairment Code, as specified in this document: AROCv4 Impairment Codes.pdf
Start Date and End Date: these data items have been modified from the previous description of 'Episode Admission Date' and 'Episode Discharge Date' to generalise because Palliative Care groups on Phase rather than Episode.
Thus we have the distinction:

Case Type: Palliative Care: Start Date = Phase Start Date, End Date = Phase End Date
Case Type: all except Palliative Care: Start Date = Episode Start Date, End Date = Episode End Date

Age will be derived by the following calculation:

Age = Start Date – Date of Birth

Length of stay will be derived by the following logic/calculation:

If [End Date] = [Start Date]
- Length of Stay = 1
Else
- Length of Stay = [End Date] – [Start Date] – [Leave Days]

Note there is some ambiguity about calculation of ‘Length of Stay’ for palliative care phases, however Length of Stay is not actually used for grouping of palliative care so this does not present a problem for the grouper

Derived Items used in AN-SNAP grouping

Long Term Care: Long Term Care is true if 'Length of Stay' >= 92 days
