Background:
NHS Wales Risk assessment scores are applicable from 1st April 2018.
These scores are recorded at COT creation and sent through to the NHS in the normal XML file transmission process.
Requirements:
- EXACT v12.13 or later
- UK database with an active Wales NHS Payor
- Initially the scores will be optional but they may become mandatory in future.
Multiple optional entries added to the clinical dataset with effect from 1 April 2018:
- Risks from Medical, Social and Dental History, Tooth decay, Periodontal Health and Other Dental need RAG status and the number of teeth in the patients mouth.
- In addition the number of Decayed Permanent (9320) and Decayed Deciduous (9323) teeth are to be completed for Wales as well as England and isle of Man.
The new 9000 codes are purely based on the clinical judgement of the performer, with the exception of the total teeth in the mouth which is an actual count and should reflect the patient's oral status at the start of a course of treatment.

Depending on a configuration checkbox, this service can be used in two ways:
- It can be manually added to a COT as required, in which case it can also be deleted from the COT, or
- A practice can configure it to be automatically added at COT creation, in which case it cannot be deleted from the COT and all risks must be assessed.
This enables Practice Managers to compel the capture of risk assessment scores in order to better meet NHS requirements.

- No FP17/O Data is set
- Denplan Category is None
- DMF category is Other
- The service is listed in the chart tab Services list by default
