PlayHQ Concussion Management Functionality
PlayHQ Concussion Management Functionality
PlayHQ’s concussion management functionality enables the recording and oversight of suspected concussions, guiding participants through the required return to play process, and ensuring appropriate medical clearance is obtained before a player becomes eligible to return to play.
Key features include:
Enables suspected concussions to be recorded, making players ineligible for selection until they complete the return-to-play process.
Sent to PlayHQ profile owners (player or parent/guardian) outlining the required steps to return to play.
Sent to club admins (with notifications enabled) and team managers when an incident is logged and throughout the recovery process.
After 21+ Days: Players must declare completion of the graded loading program and confirm medical clearance. No action is required from the club.
Before 21 Days: Players must declare a doctor has confirmed no concussion occurred. Clubs must also confirm they’ve sighted the medical clearance before the player becomes eligible.
Provides de-identified insights, including:
- Number of concussion incidents and the ‘return status’ (open, pending, closed, needs review)
- Basic demographics (age, gender) and average return-to-play timeframe
Once a player's return-to-play date has passed, the concussion incident will only be visible to the profile owner and no longer to leagues or clubs.
