NHS DAF Alerting Report

The NHS DAF Alerting Report is also available through MyPractice Cloud (MPC).

The NHS Alert Manager provides a means for practices to setup alerts on NHS policy or service breaches, and to track the data around practice conformance.

Trigger conditions:

The trigger conditions for NHS DAF Alerting are based on NHS requirement specifications approved by the NHS. In response to a DAF trigger condition a configurable message (unique to to each KPI) displays as a warning. The user who triggered the alert is able to add supporting notes/evidence as to why the action is occurring. The DAF breach action is logged in the database along with the user's supporting notes.

NHS Practices can optionally configure EXACT to

• Report on their DAF KPIs in order to be responsive to their continuous performance.

• Collate evidence of practice performance against KPIs

  • KPI-related actions are logged and auditable

  • Associated notes are shown on the NHS DAF Alert Report

• Alert Providers to any possible actions that could contribute to these KPIs.

  • Default messages advise that the current Provider activity is being NHS DAF KPI monitored.

  • Messages instruct the Provider to input supporting notes or evidence.

• DAF Alerts are configured in the NHS Alert Manager.
