SWEP would like to share these suggestions to ensure you are aware of them, and can perhaps integrate them into your processes.  \nGeneral tips  \n➢ Save the link to the SWEP portal in your browser so that your log in details are remembered by the computer (please ensure private log in prior to allowing your computer to save your log in details) . Chrome is the preferred browser for the SWEP portal.  \n➢ Some practitioners set up a folder within their emails where they save quotes or correspondence for applications. This may make it easier to find quotes and information when it is needed to finalise applications.  \n➢ The section ‘Implications of Non-Provision’ is the information used by SWEP to prioritise applications. While the lymphoedema category does not currently have a waitlist, this section is where you need to focus on providing adequate information if a wait list system does need to be reintroduced within SWEP.  \n➢ Unless you require the application to be validated by a SWEP clinical advisor, you only need to answer the mandatory questions that have an asterisk next to them.  \nIf you know you won’t need the application validated:  \nYou only need to answer the mandatory questions shown with an asterisk. This may include providing a lower level of detail about clinical reasoning as it is an administration officer who will be processing your application. Brief sentences or dot points are appropriate.  \nIf you know you will need the application to be validated:  \nProvide extra clinical detail (including the relevant sections that don’t have an asterisk) so that the clinical advisor can see your clinical reasoning behind the decisions made. Please see additional hints below on the sort of detail that assists a clinical advisor to review your application.  \nIf you aren’t sure whether or not the application will require validation:  \nFill in the mandatory sections marked with an asterisk and submit the application. If you do need to have the application validated, hit the cancel button to return to the application and add in additional information as needed. For further information on this process refer to page 34 of the Portal User Guide available here:  [https://swep.bhs.org.au/portal-application](https://swep.bhs.org.au/portal-application)guide.php  \nTips to assist a SWEP Clinical Advisor to validate your application  \nProviding adequate information assists the clinical advisor to review and validate your application as promptly as possible. This helps reduce overall costs to the program and expedite approval of compression garments for your consumers.  \nNote: Clinical advisors only have access to the current application and order/measure documents. Providing some information about the history of the consumer within SWEP LCGP can be useful.  \n➢ Consumer Diagnosis (Mandatory question): Include all relevant details of lymphoedema and related conditions – think What? Where? When?  \no Example: Right upper limb lymphoedema onset 2019 secondary to breast cancer diagnosed 2018, completed initial cancer treatment, has ongoing hormonal therapy. Single episode of cellulitis 2020.  \n➢ Consumer Expectations (Mandatory question): Demonstrate informed consent by noting what bothers the consumer about their lymphoedema and what is their understanding of how the garment will improve function /wellbeing/independence? If repeat order for an identical garment previously funded by SWEP just state that here. If change to garment use Clinical Justification to provide more detail.  \no Example: Replacement garment – consumer has been using same garment daily for 2 years to effe","cbCair4sxMoE0OIz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair4sxMoE0OIz","pdf",192797,"English","# General tips\n## Mandatory questions and validation paths\n## Tips to assist a SWEP Clinical Advisor to validate your application\n### Consumer Diagnosis (Mandatory question)\n### Consumer Expectations (Mandatory question)\n### Consumer Characteristics\n### Clinical Justification\n### Delivery details","[{\"question\":\"How can practitioners make repeat LCGP applications quicker in the SWEP portal?\",\"answer\":\"Use available portal shortcuts and save the SWEP portal link in your browser so login details are remembered.
