Clinical Audit Setup

To set up the Clinical Audit

In order to make use of the Clinical Audit facility for cosmetic dental treatment, the following things need to be set up and maintained in EXACT:

1. BACD Membership - the Clinical Audit facility is available to all EXACT users, but if you wish to output the Clinical Audit Report in the required format to submit it to the BACD, you will need to be a BACD member, and enter your number in the Providers window (File > Providers):

   

   The number must be entered in the format BACDMxxxxx, where xxxxx is your five-digit membership number.

2. Failure Categories / Modes - EXACT has the BACD Failure Categories and Failure Modes already set up for you (see Failure Modes for Failure Category Codes).

   If you wish to add your own (non-BACD) categories and modes to services, this is done via the Add Service Item window (if adding a new service as well) or the Edit Service Item window to add failure categories to existing services.

3. The Failure Category field in the Service Item windows is accessible to any user with security access to edit services.

   However, the ability to add or edit Failure Categories and Modes must be set up for a user by someone with administrative rights, via the Configure > Security menu item for the user or the group they belong to:

   

4. Failed historical treatment that has not yet been marked as such will need to be accessed via the Tooth History window on the patient's chart tab.

   The Failure button on this window enables you to 'tag' treatment for a patient as failed. See Failed Treatment (for Clinical Audits).
