Assign a Provider/Performer to an NHS contract

1. Select File - NHS Contracts to display the list of NHS Contract Numbers.
2. Double click the contract you wish to add them to.
3. Click the+1 button to assign Performers to the NHS contract. An entry screen will appear.
   
   
   

   Performer is a VT checkbox: If the performer you are assigning to the NHS contract is a Vocational Trainee, check (tick) the checkbox so that UDAs for that performer are not counted towards the contract total.

4. Click the selector button to select the Performer/Provder from a list.

5. Select the Performer/Provider and then enter their share of the total UDAs or UOAs for the NHS Contract in the Target field and click OK to save.
   The details will appear in the Add NHS Contract Number.

6. Repeat these steps until all the correct Performers/Providers have been assigned to the NHS contract.

Once all data entry for this particular NHS Contract is complete, repeat steps 2-6 to create additional contracts if required, or click in the Add NHS Contract Number screen to save changes and exit.

UDA Target Setup

When a performer is added to a contract, EXACT will perform a check on the hours to be worked by that performer during the contract period.

If this check finds a value of 20 hours or more on a single day, EXACT will assume the performer’s diary is not set up correctly and will present you with the following message.

If the Performer already has part of a block rota set up, an Extend Block Rota button will show, when clicked this allows you to extend the performer's current appointment hours to the end of the contract. If the performer has no block rota set up, or the existing rota has gaps in it, the Create Block Rota button will be displayed instead, allowing you to set new appointment hours for this performer via the “Create Blocks” window.

The Continue button simply removes the warning message from the screen, and allows you to proceed with setting up the contract details.

Adding a DFT/VT to an NHS contract

Foundation Dentists or VT's need to have their own, unique login for EXACT. If the dentist is to become a fully qualified dentist and remain in your practice, they will require a new EXACT Provider profile to stop any complications with UDA's.

1. The first step is to create a new provider profile. View Add a New User / Provider.
2. The steps above explain how to add a provider to a contract, remember to tick the box for Performer is a VT to ensure there is no UDA crossover affecting the practice UDA's and/or target.
