On 1st December 2021, NHS Wales introduced some new elements, this article gives an overview of these and how you can utilise them in EXACT.

Three new Clinical Data sets have been added to EXACT, these include;

• Custom Occlusal App - Hard Bite
• Custom Occlusal App - Soft Bite
• Denture Addition/Reline/Rebate

You can add these new data sets to any services, if you need assistance on how to set these please use our guide on NHS Service Codes and Categories.

When you have charted a service with one of the four new clinical data sets attached you will find them ticked under a new tab on the NHS FP17 window titled 'Data Set 2'.

Patient Consent for Contact Preference will now auto-populate with a patients information as entered on their patient record. This will also opt-in patients to be contacted by the NHS, patients can still choose to opt-out by removing the tick from the box next to the email address or mobile number.

AGP (Aerosol Generating Procedures) 

A new AGP service now exists to send a count of all AGP appointments with each claim, charting this service on every appointment that uses an Aerosol Generating Procedure will add to the count for the course of treatment.

This can be added to any service that uses AGP, follow our AGP help guide to set this up.

The count information is displayed on the FP17 window once you TC a course of treatment under the treatment tab, this can be manually increased using the arrows if necessary.

Risk Assessment/ACORN Changes have been implemented to lock the Perio Health tab as no data is required on this tab if either a patient is edentulous or a patient is unable to tolerate periodontal examination.

The Risk Assessment form will no longer allow a patient to be marked as both under 12 and edentulous, for example, if 'Patient is edentulous' is ticked and you then tick 'Patient is under 12' the tick will be removed from edentulous and vice versa.

Full ACORN and guidance can be found in the NHS Risk Assessment - ACORN help guide. 

Everything shown on this page is available in V13.500+, if you do not know what version you currently have installed, find out how to tell what version you are using.
