Issues Resolved

• Snomed update for April 2021.

• A ‘Created by’ label has been added to the ‘Edit Appointment’ screen, so that users can easily see the appointment creator. (Jira EX-61095).

• Online Templates: Online templates can now be selected and used from the Recall Automation screens in EXACT. For more information on online templates see Online Templates

• New security settings have been added to control a user's ability to edit the Provider and Hygienist fields on the patient file. (Jira EX-51124).

• EXACT Registration: Users will no longer be prompted to register EXACT, this will happen automatically. (Jira EX-60170, EX-61022).

• Patients are now correctly displayed in Care Manager after a database split has occurred. (Jira EX-60948).

• Email Server improvements to prevent it crashing in certain circumstances. (Jira EX-60856, EX-60911, EX-60918, EX-60960).

• Performance improvement: Removed unnecessary disk access when load the patient chart history so that the history opens much more quickly. (Jira EX-60143: EX-61084: EX-61106)

• EXACT will now automatically correct the login date, if the user leaves the login screen displayed overnight. This will prevent a previously confusing warning appearing as the user attempted to login with a previous date. (Jira EX-60559).

• Fix for Rebate Estimate not sending the Provider Number through (Jira EX-59927).

• Fix for EXACT placing the next item at the top of charting when adding another service to a COT after editing clinical note (Jira EX-60530).

• Fix for version.txt having an incorrect number which could cause the workstation installer to launch unnecessarily.

• SMS replies in Australia and New Zealand weren’t able to be found to match for some sites. This was due to the date format being received by the SMS provider in US format. This meant that during the first half of the month, replies would be saved in Exact on the wrong day (for example 2nd May instead of 5th Feb). This has been resolved.

• NHS: When viewing electronically signed NHS forms a new pop-up message will notify users the form has been altered since the date it was originally signed. This is to alert users that the exemptions in Exact may differ from the electronic form being viewed and need to be reviewed.

  This will apply in England (FP17PR), Wales (FP17PRW), Northern Ireland (HS45PR) and Scotland (GP17PR) and to both Clinipad and Patient Portal forms.

  

   

• The Appointment book spanner button has been moved on the standard appointment book to sit in line and to the right of the provider columns, to make it more discoverable.

• Users are now warned if they use POP3 rather than IMAP when setting up email accounts, due to the risk of all inbox items being potentially removed from the mail server and downloaded to EXACT (Jira EX-60546).

• Database connection reliability has been improved.

• NHS Wales: A BPE refresh option has been added to the Risk Assessment form. This will allow users to easily pull through the patient’s latest BPE record, if it was recorded after the form was launched. (Jira EX-60696).

• Improvements to the Appointment Book Wizard so that more appointment book related tasks (adding new providers, changing provider working hours and search and change options) can be accessed directly from it.

• A new tool has been added to the EXACT Server Administrator that lets you view the status of your EXACT services and restart them if they are not running. To launch the tool, on the practice server, right click on the Server Administrator tray icon and select ‘Monitor Service Health…’ from the menu.

  

  This will launch the service monitor at the top of the screen.

  

  Each dot is a service. Green means the service is running, red means it is stopped. Click on the dot to start or stop the service.
  Please Note: Stopping/Restarting the SPR or DB services will kick every user out of EXACT and lose any unsaved changes.

  The toolbar can be slid up or down using the green arrow to keep it out of the way or it can be pinned using the thumbtack. Hover over the dots for more information about the service.

•  NLD Evolution: Vecozo moved their server which resulted in an issue sending claims. Evolution has been updated so claims will now send correctly.

•  NLD Evolution: practices can now change the COT payor like they could previously. This was changed to only be on the patient details for other regions but for Evolution practices this has been turned back on.

•  NHS England: Any non banded services will now be ignored as treatment on initial triage COT’s. Previously only Auto Notes were being excluded. This change allows users more flexibility to add items to an initial triage COT while maintaining its initial triage status. For more info on triage functionality see NHS Triage Claims

• A ‘Copy Profile’ button was added to the Add User/Provider Wizard. New providers can now be easily created by using an existing provider’s settings and configurations as a base. (Jira EX-58870, EX-60574).

• The 'Remote Support' menu entry in EXACT now launches a new application which allows a quick Bomgar connection to the support team member who is helping you.

  

•  NHS Scotland: the NHS forms a patient completes in the portal will populate the exemptions on the patient's COT.

• Fix for the Remote Support launcher crashing on querying version.

• Planned treatment links sent from Care Manager were setting the incorrect appointment length. Instead of using the main appointment length the link would be generated based on the sum of the services which would result in appointments being booked for too long or too short.

• Stability fixes for EXACT Framework, Database and Relay services (Jira EX-60875, EX-60779, EX-60979).

• The Framework service will now keep the last good list of databases it got from the Relay service, meaning intermittent Relay issues will not cause the Framework service to become unhealthy.

• Fix for the Framework service stopping and not being automatically restarted.

• Fix for Support email addresses being out of date for some non-European regions.

•  NHS England: Fix for the initial triage being sent as an in-treatment triage when Autonote is added to an NHS Triage claim submission (Jira EX-60927). A rule was added to exclude auto notes as treatment.

• Fix for Patient Record getting locked when trying to TC a COT from the Chart Screen if the address is incomplete (Jira EX-60929).

•  NHS England - NHS England Triage - Removed a claim overlap warning that was displayed when TCing a triage COT. The warning was not required as sending Triage COT’s does not cause an overlapping claim condition.

• The Connect user registration window no longer prompts automatically on EXACT login, for Practices signed up with Connect. Users who did not want to register found this an unnecessary extra step each time they logged into EXACT. A user can now choose to register with Connect via a ‘Register Online’ button from the EXACT User Setting window.

•  NHS England - The NHS Triage feature upgrade notification has been released.

• Patient Portal - When phone numbers are saved in Exact from the patient details form the country code is no longer displayed. For example, +64212233445 will now be saved as 0212233445

• The need to re-index the Appointment table was removed so that upgrade times would not be extended unnecessarily.

• NHS - Updated button for sending NHS forms to Clinipad devices from the exemptions window. Users can now send to Clinipad in one click. The main button will automatically send to the device named, or users can select the drop down and chose another device from the list. The users preferred device will be defaulted.

• A Payor column is now available in the Arrivals tab and will display the appointment payor.

•  NHS England - NHS Triage data can now be submitted from EXACT. For more information see NHS Triage Claims

  • No icon = no form required

  • Black icon = form required but not complete. Notify the patient to complete the form in their portal

• Workstation installer now shows an updating symbol on the Exact Icon whilst an update is in progress. If a user tries to log in whilst this is happening, they will see a message to wait and try again later.

• Firewall exception added to server install so that workstation can more easily access the server when updating. This results in the installer running approximately 30 seconds faster.

• Fix for certain practices experiencing crashing due to antivirus changes. Some antivirus systems caused the server to run out of memory/threads because workstations were forced to reconnect every few seconds. The server now cleans up and recovers the lost memory much more quickly.

• Online Templates: EXACT now shows the online templates even if a Connect user isn't logged in. Online templates are created in Connect (our web platform) and can be made available to a wider group of practices to save time for corporate customers managing communication templates. This feature allows templates to be viewed and selected without every EXACT user needing to be registered with Connect. For more information about Connect and online templates see Online Templates.
