SNAP

(Topic Last Updated On: 05/05/2010)

The SNAP menu item on the Counselor menu launches the SNAP screen, which is used for tracking each patient's SNAP profile history. SNAP is a commonly used acronym for 'Strengths', 'Abilities', 'Needs', and 'Preferences', used by many facilities to identify core treatment characteristics for each patient. SNAP profiles are often created following each patient's initial psychosocial assessment, then updated with new profile entries on this screen as needed.
