Summary
The Stroke Sentinal National Audit Programme Dataset contains valuable operational data but is limited by its lag time to reporting. We have developed a realtime data dashboard which enables SSNAP data to be used to study the performance of our unit live. Data is entered onto the dashboard by using the SSNAP Export feature. A number of visual dials show how we are performing against each key component within a domain. We have subsequently extended the data dashboard beyond performance to look at outcome metrics, and used it to study door to needle pathways, referral times and a number of other key measures. This has enabled our team to undertake a forensic analysis of its service and work to improve many areas of our practice to improve performance. Our SSNAP performance has seen some of the largest improvements in the UK on SSNAP metrics over the last 3 quarters. We are predicting further improvements in Q4 2014 and Q1 2015.
