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

On the FP17 screen you will notice the NICE Guidance area has been reduced in size with all the previous information shown when you press the Details button.

A Flexible Commissioning dropdown menu has been added with the following options to select from if required* to be included with a claim;

• Securing Access for Urgent Care
• Promoting Access to Routine Care
• Providing Care of High Needs Groups
• Starting Well
• Enhanced Health in Care Homes
• Collaboration in Local Care Network

*only required if your NHS contract is participating in Flexible Commissioning

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

• Phased Treatment (The service NHS·PHASED TRT has this data set assigned)
• 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'.

In addition to these, the data set Permanent Fillings & Sealant Restorations CDS has been renamed Fillings.

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.

Everything shown on this page is available in V13.485+, if you do not know what version you currently have installed, find out how to tell what version you are using.
