 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello peeps! Back to home sweet home in Los Angeles. 😁 #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Let's get started with question 1. What do you think are the positives of the Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme? #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Unfortunately @SSNAPaudit aren't able to join us this evening, but we'll pass on any queries we can't answer. We have links to lots of resources that'll help too #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Hi everyone!!! Hi @OT_rach and thanks for having us back! #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Just a few house rules before we get started #OTalk https://t.co/X7q7BhMHOU |

| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Great, Let's get started with question 1. What do you think are the positives of the Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme? #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Please remember the #OTalk so we can capture the full discussion; remember code of conduct; have fun (if you forget the hashtagit will not be in the transcript) https://t.co/dljkHIycTj |
| OTalk @OTalk_ @AideenKa @RCOT_NP @OT_rach @otalk Use the # not the @ #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Unfortunately @SSNAPaudit aren't able to join us this evening, but we'll pass on any queries we can't answer. We have links to lots of resources that'll help too #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Quick off the mark here is Question 1 |
 | Rowena Padamsey @RPadamsey @OTalk_ @RCOT_NP @OT_rach Hi all, I’m lurking! 👋🏼 #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #OTalk |
 | Annika Niebuhr @AnninieOT @OTalk_ @RCOT_NP @OT_rach Hi. I’m new to twitter and #Otalk. Therefore just lurking and learning. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RCOT_NP @SSNAPaudit That will help because obviously I am from the USA and not familiar with many of the things that are being discussed this evening. #otalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Everyone is more than welcome don’t feel free to join in if you have any questions or comments. #OTalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow One of the positives is that SSNAP results are noted at a trust management level and this helps to ensure staffing levels stay as they should in order to achieve the therapy intensity SSNAP standard #OTalk |
 | Jenny OT @OTJenniy @OTalk_ @RCOT_NP @OT_rach Hey @OTalk_ @tis7ha @emmaneuroOT @mclellan_nicola @kathfoster_ @JadeCodesido Love a lurk 👀 #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @RCOT_NP it helps to measure the quality of stroke care #otalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ You need to use the # not the @ for people to see you engaging in this conversation #OTalk https://t.co/ZKYNIuC0t3 |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Remember remember remember remember, # # # in every tweet in every tweet. #otalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ @OTJenniy @RCOT_NP @OT_rach @tis7ha @emmaneuroOT @mclellan_nicola @kathfoster_ @JadeCodesido That’s better 😝 #OTalk |
 | Louise @Louisepenny87 @RCOT_NP Helps give a target for time of rehab per day and time frames for disciplines to see a patient by. Early intervention by MDT supports stroke care and rehab #otalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @kerri_schOT Absolutely. A bit of healthy competition between trusts and teams can help learn from each other and improve care #OTalk |
| Rowena Padamsey @RPadamsey @OTalk_ It gives services an opportunity to benchmark against other services, measure the performance of a service against ‘quality’ indicators and provides transparency for patients and service users #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RPadamsey @OTalk_ So it sounds like a Yelp between such units- so that service users can get some info on what they maybe in for. #otalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Absolutely. Senior management do seem to really engage with the data and seems to give therapy an importance alongside some of the process measures #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Here is question one in case you missed it! #OTalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow RT @RCOT_NP: Great, Let's get started with question 1. What do you think are the positives of the Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RPadamsey @OTalk_ If I were a patient or caregiver, I am for this because I want to know what kind of care me or my loved ones will receive. #otalk |

| OTalk @OTalk_ @AvrilDrummond1 Hi there you need to use the hashtag in every tweet the @ Will not work #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @Louisepenny87 Absolutely, really important!! I'm sure you'll have lots to add for the next couple of questions #OTalk |

 | Ismalia De Sousa MSc RN @Ismalia_S @JenniferNCrow Or that they need to increase #otalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow A number of the standards require collaborative MDT working to ensure Standards by discharge for example - it is not about each discipline for themselves - we need to work together #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau RT @RCOT_NP: @kerri_schOT Absolutely. A bit of healthy competition between trusts and teams can help learn from each other and improve car… |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @RPadamsey @OTalk_ Yes, the results are publicly available so patients can look at how their local units are performing and exercise choice or lobby for improvement #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @RCOT_NP Also helps in the justification of service provision. Having left the London bubble recently, I’m shocked by the variability of service provision elsewhere #OTalk |
 | Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @RCOT_NP Much potential to answer many novel questions from such widespread population level data 📈📉📈 #OTalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow The patients voice carries weight and transparency is good #OTalk |
 | Nicole Claire Walmsley @NicoleCWalmsley Prompts therapists to consider how they can improve intensity. Its not always about increasing staffing, its efficiency also #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @JenniferNCrow So it promotes joined up discussions and action planning to improve care? #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @JenniferNCrow: One of the positives is that SSNAP results are noted at a trust management level and this helps to ensure staffing leve… |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @Ismalia_S: @JenniferNCrow Or that they need to increase #otalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow We miss @Louisepenny87 in our London bubble @OTalk |
| Rowena Padamsey @RPadamsey @RCOT_NP They do....but at the risk of trusts feeling that once an ‘A’ has been achieved, no more needs to be done/invested to push forwards service improvement #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Moving onto question 2: How do you use the data day to day to plan or improve patient care? #OTalk #stroke |
 | Avril Drummond @AvrilDrummond1 RT @OTalk_: @AvrilDrummond1 Hi there you need to use the hashtag in every tweet the @ Will not work #OTalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow Yes until the A becomes a C and then they sit up take notice and listen again #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @YmchwilStroc I love this answer! The power in that data!!!!! Swooooooooon!!!! A huge population, measuring change over time, impact of different elements of the system and different service models #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @Ismalia_S @JenniferNCrow yes! makes sure there are enough staff to ensure patients have a high level of frequent therapy #otalk |

 | Aideen Carroll @AideenKa @OTalk_ @RCOT_NP @OT_rach @otalk Oops #OTalk. |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow RT @kerri_schOT: @Ismalia_S @JenniferNCrow yes! makes sure there are enough staff to ensure patients have a high level of frequent therapy… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RPadamsey @RCOT_NP Since I am not familiar with the system... how often these grades are updated? #otalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @RPadamsey And the same the other way, when trusts are struggling to achieve A+B's and it's used as a stick to hit with, rather than a carrot to promote positive change #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #OTalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow Are there any community therapists out there tonight? I think the community experience is quite different to the acute would love to hear some community voices #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ @AideenKa @RCOT_NP @OT_rach @otalk It’s okay it’s an easy mistake to make and that’s what I’m here for to keep you on track! #otalk |
| OTMargaret @margaret_ot #OTalk - 25th June 2019 - The Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme (SSNAP) https://t.co/qdGbpoGhxx via @OTalk_ |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau @JenniferNCrow #OTalk That’s such an important point. In Scotland, we don’t have the time targets yet and it makes it more challenging to justify staffing levels. |
| Rowena Padamsey @RPadamsey @RCOT_NP We use the 72hr guidance to ensure the hyper acute service is front loaded (when needed), making sure people are seen ASAP from admission #OTalk |
| Ismalia De Sousa MSc RN @Ismalia_S RT @JenniferNCrow: Yes until the A becomes a C and then they sit up take notice and listen again #OTalk https://t.co/uUGPw6GSi8 |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @kerri_schOT @Ismalia_S @JenniferNCrow We visit a lot of areas where staffing levels are still very low. It would be good to share how people have used the data successfully in business cases #OTalk |
 | Emma Burgess @emmaneuroOT @RCOT_NP It helps with prioritising our daily caseloads to ensure all patients receive the recommended time #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @Ismalia_S @JenniferNCrow And also consistent staff too! Rapport with patients is paramount. Inconsistent staff can make quality care difficult. #otalk |
| Rowena Padamsey @RPadamsey @RCOT_NP It presses us to consider staffing levels on the rehab wards to ensure equity of service in rehab provision #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @BillWongOT: @kerri_schOT @Ismalia_S @JenniferNCrow And also consistent staff too! Rapport with patients is paramount. Inconsistent staf… |
 | Elizabeth Taylor @ElizaTay1 @RCOT_NP @RPadamsey @OTalk_ I wonder how common it is for patients to use the results to exercise choice #OTalk Has anyone seen this in action? |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @BillWongOT @RPadamsey We have a quarterly report, which reports on every stroke unit in England and those participating in Wales and Northern Ireland #OTalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow The 24 hour and 72 hour target is what led to the implementation of our 7 day OT/PT service. Maybe not loved by all but certainly better for the pt #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @OTalk_ @AideenKa @OT_rach @otalk Thank goodness you're here! #OTalk |
| Rowena Padamsey @RPadamsey @RCOT_NP However, often trust flow issues can override these recommendations and caseloads need to be re-prioritised accordingly #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RCOT_NP: @BillWongOT @RPadamsey We have a quarterly report, which reports on every stroke unit in England and those participating in Wa… |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow It is a powerful and visual statement of how your service compares with others #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Did you know that you can use real time indicators, where the system tells you which domains are not yet achieved? (only if you upload in real time) https://t.co/2ldoMsR82a #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @RPadamsey Can you tell us more about this? Do you operate an outreach service where therapists attend a stroke call in ED or immediate assessment on the HASU? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RCOT_NP: Did you know that you can use real time indicators, where the system tells you which domains are not yet achieved? (only if yo… |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk when it’s not possible to achieve the recommended time for all patients, how do you approach workload management? |
| Jenny OT @OTJenniy @emmaneuroOT @RCOT_NP We keep a running total of each professions time, with each patient. It helps us to see who may benefit from more input #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau RT @RPadamsey: @RCOT_NP We use the 72hr guidance to ensure the hyper acute service is front loaded (when needed), making sure people are se… |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @emmaneuroOT Great. How do you do this? Do you use the data on the system in real time? Or do you have it in mind for timetabling based on what else has happened that week for the patient? #OTalk |
| Nicole Claire Walmsley @NicoleCWalmsley @RCOT_NP Is this just for the first 72 hours data at present? #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @RCOT_NP I don’t work in a service that reports to SSNAP anymore, but it’s still ingrained to think about therapy input per day, time to input of a discipline and MDT working #OTalk |
| Rowena Padamsey @RPadamsey @RCOT_NP We have planned cover on the HASU (direct admissions) and can flex up/down as needed #OTalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow We are now capturing our data live which means that it can serve as a prompt when cog screens or other targets such as goal setting are missed #OTalk |

| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau RT @RPadamsey: @RCOT_NP We have planned cover on the HASU (direct admissions) and can flex up/down as needed #OTalk |
| Ismalia De Sousa MSc RN @Ismalia_S @RCOT_NP @kerri_schOT @JenniferNCrow I think it's multifactorial. You need the data, to compare it with others, have at least 1 person of each profession amongst the MDT that is a "doer" or a driving force for change. Then you need the right people at the table #otalk |

| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @JenniferNCrow Would be great for you to try the real time indicators. There's also a therapy calculator which you can use to tot up as you go which can then be uploaded to SSNAP #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @RPadamsey: @RCOT_NP We use the 72hr guidance to ensure the hyper acute service is front loaded (when needed), making sure people are se… |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Here’s the link for the therapy pages. Lots of interesting information and guidance. https://t.co/dibrD5f75C. Including FAQ’s, reports, how to guides, links to research, how to interpret the results and vignettes re what does and doesn’t count #OTalk |
| Avril Drummond @AvrilDrummond1 #otalk Easier said that done. But giving everyone something is better than leaving some patients completely. https://t.co/9kA0fVr6TV |
| Avril Drummond @AvrilDrummond1 RT @RCOT_NP: Here’s the link for the therapy pages. Lots of interesting information and guidance. https://t.co/dibrD5f75C. Including FAQ’s… |
| Aideen Carroll @AideenKa @RCOT_NP @RPadamsey Is HASU Hyper acute stroke unit? I'm on placement on a stroke ward and am getting used to the terminology #OTalk. |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @Ismalia_S @kerri_schOT @JenniferNCrow Completely agree. It gives you useful information to start and frame a conversation. Change happens because of people getting together with a common aim after all #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau @Louisepenny87 @RCOT_NP #OTalk that’s interesting that it becomes embedded. Do you ever find that other non-patient tasks are neglected due them becoming lower priority? |
| Jenny OT @OTJenniy @RachelTeasy @RCOT_NP We’ve incorporated the SSNAP data that needs to be collected on the front page of our initial neuro assessment; this helps to prompt us to ensure we complete the data collection. We also now update the mood screen each week in MDT meetings for each patient. #OTalk @emmaneuroOT |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Has anyone used the ‘custom export’ function to pull the data off they need to support business cases or service improvement projects? It’s easy when you know how…https://t.co/ERTaFisP0e #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ #otalk hi Emma you need to ensure that you include the hashtag otherwise people won’t say what you said |
| OTalk @OTalk_ @emmaneuroOT @RCOT_NP Don’t forget the hashtag in all your tweets #OTalk |
| Rowena Padamsey @RPadamsey @chungsongyau We have to look at when people were last seen, have they accessed groups etc, are we dch planning with them #OTalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow We do find that supervision sessions as an example may need to be rescheduled when staffing is low #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RCOT_NP: Here’s the link for the therapy pages. Lots of interesting information and guidance. https://t.co/dibrD5f75C. Including FAQ’s… |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP We’ve (@louiseclark15) used the custom export to analyse length of stay per MRS group on discharge. Enabled us to look in more detail at the subgroups of patients, what was holding them up, design the right pathways for them and will let us monitor impact on LOS #OTalk |

| Emma Burgess @emmaneuroOT @OTalk_ Oooooppss sorry 🙈#OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk So for occupational therapy, where many direct patient contacts are not necessarily practice sessions, but education or reflection, a higher proportion of patients may be seen productively compared to when there are no targets? https://t.co/IqX4vg9kZa |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @chungsongyau When we knew we would struggle to meet the 45min target we would consider group or paired sessions to increase time seen #OTalk |
| Avril Drummond @AvrilDrummond1 RT @chungsongyau: #OTalk So for occupational therapy, where many direct patient contacts are not necessarily practice sessions, but educati… |
| Aideen Carroll @AideenKa @emmaneuroOT @RCOT_NP On placement we also use real time and make sure we screen each new patient that comes onto the ward #OTalk. |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow Ah yes the use of groups is a great idea to increase therapy intensity and at the same time addressing isolation, low mood and other social interaction and communication goals #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @chungsongyau @Louisepenny87 I think it helps you question your priorities and keep tabs on how much other "stuff" we're doing. When we look at the evidence (REACT study) a lot of the time we're tied up in other things. Even in treatment sessions we're losing a lot of time not actively treating #OTalk |
| Emma Burgess @emmaneuroOT @RCOT_NP We have a large board in our office that we put times down for OT,SLT,physio for each patient. This visual display makes it easier for our team to tally up over the week. At the weekend we can also see who needs ‘topping up’ to make sure they have had enough time #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @RPadamsey @chungsongyau It’s a shame that the discharge planning process gets in the way of direct face to face input, as this must be the start of the ‘falling of a cliff edge’ reported by people with stroke discharged from services #OTalk |

 | @NickyRyderOT @NicholaRyder @hspenceruk that is amazing, such a great idea! How did you find all the makaton type symbols? Was thinking of trying something akin to this to overcome verbal barriers in later stage dementia. #communication #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @JenniferNCrow: Ah yes the use of groups is a great idea to increase therapy intensity and at the same time addressing isolation, low mo… |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow You see this is why we miss you, thinking outside the box ... paired sessions are a great way to increase intensity and enable informal peer support at an early stage #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP People have mixed feelings re the 45 min therapy target. Why is it important for patients and for services? #OTalk #stroke |
| OTalk @OTalk_ @emmaneuroOT That’s okay that’s what I’m here for to catch you out! 😋 I mean help! 🤓🤣 #OTalk |
| OTMargaret @margaret_ot @OTalk_ @RCOT_NP #OTalk I am new to twitter after being helped to sign up last week at the Occupational Therapy conference in Birmingham which was brilliant. I am interested in stroke management in children so will be lurking and listening in. |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @emmaneuroOT I like the use of the totting up in order to highlight who needs a top up! Sure many of us could easily adopt that #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Have you read the REACT study? This gives some pointers about things we’re getting tied up in, which reduce our ability to provide face to face therapy. Link on the SSNAP therapy page. Also, keep an eye out for SSNAPIEST from manchester, using SSNAP therapy data #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JenniferNCrow Camaraderie between patients is often overlooked in therapy related outcomes. #otalk |
| Emma Burgess @emmaneuroOT @RCOT_NP We have found that it has really helped. #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @chungsongyau @RCOT_NP Yes, definitely @chungsongyau, but sooner or later the non patient contact ends up higher on your priority list so it gets done! It’s certainly a juggling act #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ @margaret_ot @RCOT_NP That’s great to hear Margaret, just keep on clicking on the blue #otalk - and your app will keep on refreshing with the conversation. Remember to put the hashtag in any of your tweets so that people can see them and follow the conversation. |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk Great point. I think that’s really important as we could argue that doing something well for a shorter time is more effective that doing something for the sake of doing it for longer. May depend on the activity - movement practice intensity still needs a greater dosage? |
| Jenny OT @OTJenniy @RCOT_NP It’s evidenced based. 45 minutes provides better outcomes for our patients #OTalk @emmaneuroOT @mclellan_nicola @tis7ha @kathfoster_ |
| Avril Drummond @AvrilDrummond1 #OTalk #stroke. Easy to forget that it was not that long ago that many patients literally received no therapy for days on end. Setting the target and implementing it was the start of tackling this unfair system. |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @RCOT_NP @louiseclark15 Nice idea, would love a bit more granularity in the data for many analyses. It would be good to have some other measure routinely collected and recorded in @SSNAPaudit #OTalk |

| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow We spend too much time in information exchange according to the REACT study and I can see this happening on the ward - lots of talking about patients at times which is good but time needs to be balanced with doing #OTalk |

| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @BillWongOT @JenniferNCrow I think we've got lots to explore from the group therapy and gym set ups we see in Australia for example, where they're striving for closer to 3 hours of therapy and maximum practice, semi supervised practice etc #OTalk |

| Emma Burgess @emmaneuroOT @OTJenniy @RCOT_NP @mclellan_nicola @tis7ha @kathfoster_ We have daily groups 1:1 qualified and assistant sessions to help us achieve this daily on our wards. #OTalk @OTJenniy |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RCOT_NP @JenniferNCrow I will sure want to find out more if I can- since I am going to their conference in 2.5 weeks’ time. #otalk |
| Rowena Padamsey @RPadamsey @RCOT_NP @BillWongOT @JenniferNCrow How do they balance this with the discharge planning aspect of things? #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk Sounds good - bring more creative with the use of time and also providing the added benefits of group work such as mutual encouragement and peer support? |

| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @JenniferNCrow Definitely. We (@louiseclark15) were sure we needed more staff and were preparing a business case. Before we submitted it we evaluated how much time the team were spending timetabling. By reviewing this, we released the equivalent of 1.0 WTE band 6 #OTalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow Was in a meeting today with HASU's and ASU's - HASU's had data entry staff but ASU's do not. Discussion was that it is hard to justify a post when pt numbers are low. Are there ASU's out there with specific non clinical data entry staff #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Louisepenny87 @JenniferNCrow And everyone can also use friendly support... especially for those who have not as many friends or as strong in support systems goes. #otalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk that’s a great idea to have something visual to inform continuous workload planning. |
| Elizabeth Taylor @ElizaTay1 @YmchwilStroc @RCOT_NP @louiseclark15 @SSNAPaudit Which additional measures would you like to see included? #OTalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow In my view ..... yes #OTalk |
| Avril Drummond @AvrilDrummond1 RT @chungsongyau: #OTalk that’s a great idea to have something visual to inform continuous workload planning. https://t.co/5ynApKJACa |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @NicoleCWalmsley @JenniferNCrow Are some of the things we do are more for us, than for the benefit of the patients?? Sometimes we accidentally fall into this #OTalk |
| Rowena Padamsey @RPadamsey @JenniferNCrow Our band 3 therapy support workers input the data daily...taking up at least one pt session a day - doesn’t feel like we have the balance right #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @NicoleCWalmsley @JenniferNCrow That’s part of the challenge of having such a broad MDT. I had 3 conversations today about a patient who has a whole meeting dedicated to them tomorrow! Comms are important but can get out of hand #OTalk |
 | Ciaran O'Hagan @OT_Ciaran I'm new to stroke and I find the 45-min daily therapy guideline difficult to adhere to. Some patient sessions take longer therefore cutting into time needed for another patient. Group work is going to be a key ally in helping me ensure all patients get enough therapy time. #OTalk |
| OTMargaret @margaret_ot @OTalk_ @RCOT_NP #OTalk thank you that's helped me understand what to do. |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @ElizaTay1 @YmchwilStroc @louiseclark15 @SSNAPaudit We've had some discussions at ICSWP recently about making some additions, but it's not possible for lots of new questions at present. We do have a list of ideas though #OTalk |

| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk that’s the thing about OT isn’t it, the tasks we undertake are so diverse and not all are relatable to time targets. However, I’m getting the point that time targets may stil have the influence on pushing to ensure we work with people as frequently and as long as possible |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @chungsongyau Yes. I love using paired sessions if I’m giving similar information, or doing a similar type of rehab #OTalk |

| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow Yes I have never really considered how scrutinised a new member of the team might feel as regards their ability to deliver the 45 min target, thanks for raising #OTalk |
| Nicole Claire Walmsley @NicoleCWalmsley @JenniferNCrow our ASU has no data entry support which I imagine would be the same for most community services? All our data is inputted by senior therapists. Which is a pain… but helps senior therapist keep tabs on quality of data inputted and monitor issues… #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ @margaret_ot @RCOT_NP That’s what I’m here for. Other advice is just go with the flow you’re bound to miss things but that’s okay. I’ll create a transcript of the conversation and put it on the blog in a few days so you can read over that and see anything that you’ve missed. #otalk |
| Rowena Padamsey @RPadamsey @OTalk_ As previously mentioned- before this there wasn’t anything to inform how long patients should receive for therapy/day #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP One of the areas the forum has asked to be considered for inclusion on SSNAP is home visits. This uses a lot of resource, but patients really value it. They are also something that is often rationalised when under pressure #OTalk |

| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @ElizaTay1 @RCOT_NP @louiseclark15 @SSNAPaudit Good question! I think a good place to start would be the cognitive screen scores and mood screen scores, which are currently just tick boxes of administered/ not administered #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @chungsongyau We hear often the burden clinicians feel to “feed the beast”, that is SSNAP and that it’s all about targets. We can’t argue the fact that more is better, we’re often not meeting 45 mins & we know that 45 minutes is nowhere near enough either #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @chungsongyau It helps to remember the intention behind all the targets is to encourage us to give the patients more of what they need to improve and to drive improvement in services #OTalk |

| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @RPadamsey @JenniferNCrow Having a data administrator for your stroke service is a model a lot of areas have adopted. In our service we are trying to get our therapy stats on an electronic system to export into a SSNAP format for easy upload. #OTalk |

| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow That would be interesting to calculate the cost of senior therapists time inputting data that may be able to done by an administrator #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @YmchwilStroc @ElizaTay1 @louiseclark15 @SSNAPaudit The only thing to remember is that it's an audit of process predominantly. You could add an additional domain though to collect these. See the link in the support section on SSNAP to add this #OTalk |
| Nicole Claire Walmsley @NicoleCWalmsley I think SNNAP therapy targets is the biggest challenge for OT compared to other therapies where so much of our role is not counted towards therapy minutes….have we got recomended staffing levels right? I think not #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @RCOT_NP I must admit though, for a profession as broad as OT, some aspects of our work can get missed. 45 functional task practice can mean that intensive UL, cog or other aspects of rehab are omitted #OTalk |
 | alice newbury @newbury_alice @RCOT_NP Home visits are so important, I used to complete them for most pt’s when I worked in an inpatient setting, now working in the community you can tell the difference between the pt’s who have had home visits vs those that haven’t #OTalk |

| Avril Drummond @AvrilDrummond1 @RCOT_NP #otalk. we need investment across the NHS into how to solve this- issue bigger than #stroke or #AHPs |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow More is better but we need to be flexible about how it is delivered. We know from the AVERT trial that long sessions in the first 24 - 48 hrs do not lead to better outcomes. Seeing a pt for 3 x 15 min sessions per day may be what is needed #OTalk |

| Rowena Padamsey @RPadamsey @emmaneuroOT @RCOT_NP @OTJenniy I find that often we are spending longer sessions e.g 90mins 3 x week rather than 45mins/ day - based on pt need and tolerance (plus groups) #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @RCOT_NP And don’t stop after 45 minutes! #OTalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow SSNAP has been great for improving stroke services in the acute settings, more focus on what is being measured in the community would be good and recording 6 month reviews is SOOOO important #OTalk |
| Avril Drummond @AvrilDrummond1 #otalk Especially when we know that it is often the most severe patients who get less therapy. This would be an ideal way to maximise their input. |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow RT @Louisepenny87: @RCOT_NP And don’t stop after 45 minutes! #OTalk |
 | Rachel Lucidarme @rachlucidarme @RCOT_NP Completely agree, we used data to demonstrate gaps in resources, SSNAP data is really powerful for that purpose #OTalk |
| Elizabeth Taylor @ElizaTay1 @RCOT_NP Remember the intention behind it, and that lots of things that matter aren’t measured. #OTalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @JenniferNCrow Also need to remember there is potential for therapy outside of the 7.5 hour working day #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @HeatherSheldo17 Yes, we've focussed a lot on acute SSNAP here, but achieving that in the community is really challenging as are often less well staffed. There will be developments to SSNAP for rehabilitation following the Long term plan. Watch this space...#OTalk |

| Beth Clark @BethClark_OT @RCOT_NP @Louisepenny87 We certainly cannot ignore that intensity of therapy is important - but it also concerns me that measuring the amount of time spent in therapy may not be the best way to measure therapy intensity #OTalk |
| Jenny OT @OTJenniy @cawstroke @RCOT_NP When fatigue is a factor, we often do mini sessions throughout the day...could be a technician sees for a session, then another professional, maybe 2 professions at one time, if goals are similar. #Otalk I agree, some people at stages in their recovery can not tolerate 45 minutes |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow Very good point - Use of family members and encouraging and enabling self management @OTalk |

| Emma Burgess @emmaneuroOT @cawstroke @RCOT_NP Absolutely!! this years UKSF was all about increasing the intensity of what we are doing to improve outcomes! The session doesn’t have to be delivered in one go, by being client centred and thinking of innovative ways this is easily achievable #OTalk @OTJenniy |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @OT_Ciaran But sadly a recent study showed that even in a 45 minute OT session, the patient was only actively doing something for 23 minutes of it! #OTalk |

| OTalk @OTalk_ RT @JenniferNCrow: Thank you @louiseclark15 for doing a great job as always #OTalk https://t.co/uYnQfCEQHu |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau RT @RCOT_NP: @cawstroke More is better, how we deliver it should be tailored per patient though taking into account fatigue, cognition, lan… |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Thank you everyone. We'll go through and make sure we've answered all points raised. Please use the links we've shared tonight as you can really use SSNAP to your advantage if you know what it can do #OTalk |
| Aideen Carroll @AideenKa @RCOT_NP Thank you #OTalk I learnt loads. |
| Avril Drummond @AvrilDrummond1 #otalk Thanks all! very interesting! |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk certainly in our rehab units, considerable time is required when people need a lot of postural management and hoisting for joint sessions that can include two or three professions. |
| Elizabeth Taylor @ElizaTay1 @RCOT_NP @AvrilDrummond1 And THIS is a really important point! Shame we didn’t get to talk about how different services are deciding who to include in the audit for intensity and what happens to those not included. There’s so much variation in this. #OTalk |
 | NSNF @ukstrokenursing RT @RCOT_NP: You can also add an extra domain to SSNAP to collect additional data that your service or region feel they need. Services in… |

| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @BethClark_OT @chungsongyau @RCOT_NP @Louisepenny87 Or dare I say it ... ‘quality’ ... #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @AvrilDrummond1 And some more challenge and exploration about 'unable to tolerate' #OTalk |
| alice newbury @newbury_alice These all sound really interesting #OTalk |
| Emma Burgess @emmaneuroOT @RCOT_NP Absolutely!! this years UKSF was all about increasing the intensity of what we are doing to improve outcomes! The session doesn’t have to be delivered in one go, by being client centred and thinking of innovative ways this is easily achievable #OTalk @OTJenniy |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau RT @OT_rach: Don’t forget about next week’s Twitter chat. First Tuesday of the month is always a research based chat. #OTalk https://t.co/… |
| Elizabeth Taylor @ElizaTay1 @OTalk_ @RCOT_NP @louiseclark15 @OT_rach Thanks @RCOT_NP @louiseclark15 #OTalk, and here’s a quick plug for a paper I wrote on the topic for anyone interested... https://t.co/AQjQRThe7Y |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @YmchwilStroc @Louisepenny87 @ElizaTay1 @louiseclark15 @SSNAPaudit We did talk this through at the last ICSWP and felt that it opened a never ending list of measures for lots of things, which might not be routinely carried out everywhere and might change over time. Def could add to the extra domain though- regionally or as an STP #OTalk |
| Katherine Foster @kathfoster_ RT @RCOT_NP: @BillWongOT @JenniferNCrow I think we've got lots to explore from the group therapy and gym set ups we see in Australia for ex… |
 | Steve Williams @srowilliams RT @RCOT_NP: Did you know that you can use real time indicators, where the system tells you which domains are not yet achieved? (only if yo… |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @JenniferNCrow I wonder if people are put off as these are often the more dependent patients and so the manual handling and set up can take a while? Having easy set up stations could help this #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP RT @AvrilDrummond1: #otalk Great study of OT home visits currenly being led in Australia by @NatashaLannin https://t.co/AHDlWQu2Zd |
