Delete Aged Data

DAD-Complete_Splash_300x125

Use the Delete Aged Data tool to delete dental records that exceed the regulated record-retention age. This is in accordance with the "retain no longer than necessary rule" from the BDA, GDC and Dental Protection in the UK, but the tool can optionally be used in other regions.

The tool partially automates the process of identifying, checking and deleting patient aged records.

It is available from EXACT v11.8 onwards.

This tool is only accessible to Administrator-level users. It needs to be used with care as it can potentially delete important data. Please create a complete backup before using this tool.
