Introduction
QuickSnap Native Format v4 (FIM Summary) does not enable you to arrive at all classifications in AN-SNAP v4. It does not contain the individual items for FIM and HoNOS scales, and thus cannot group Admitted Rehabilitation classes.
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'.
- only FIM subscale totals (Motor and Cognition) which means that 'Weighted FIM Motor' as used in the Admitted Rehabilitation cannot be calculated.
- only HoNOS Summary Items: Overactive Behaviour, ADL and HoNOS Total
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. Be aware, however, that this format is only capable of grouping Overnight Episodes/Phases.
Sample Files
Here are some examples of the QuickSnap Native Format v4 (FIM Summary) file format:
- Excel Template: QuickSnap_Native_V4_FimSummary_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_V4_FimSummary.csv- this is a sample CSV file - 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
- Age Type: is the primary determiner of Adult/Paediatric classification for Palliative Care and Rehabilitation:
- If Age Type = 9 (Not Specified): Age will be used to determine Age Type
- If Age Type = 1 (Paediatric): Age will be validated, Age must be <= 19
- If Age Type = 2 (Adult): Age will be validated, Age must be >= 16
- 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
