The British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD) aims to promote clinical excellence through education, certification and professional development. Formed in 2004, they now have over 1000 members.
Since 2005 the BACD have been producing an annual practice clinical audit (based on cosmetic treatments). Information for the previous calendar year is collected and analysed by a statistician and the combined results are then sent back to participating practices so they can track trends and benchmark their success rates.
A clinical audit based on the BACD one, and which is automatically completed based on patient treatment information, has now been integrated into EXACT in order to allow you to create your own report on failed work, as an aid to on-going quality control. If your practice is a BACD member you will also be able to output the report in the format specifically required by the BACD.
There is a facility for setting up services to have the new treatment types required for the audit, and for setting up those treatment types and their failure modes. Although the clinical audit is based on the BACD audit, you are able to add new clinical audit categories and attach service items to them, to create your own internal audit of your work. New audit categories created by you will be independent of and not affect output to the BACD for cosmetic work.
There is also a facility to add historical failures to treatments, and a report (including export) to print out a summary of those failures.
