Manage and understand NHS Board reports

Published on 17 December 2024

Understanding your NHS Board reports.

You will have access to 7 years (6 plus the current financial year). The reports can only be viewed by the appropriate staff within each NHS Board.

Oral Health Indicators Reports

Where a 1-(a) Extensive Clinical Examination has been carried out for a patient aged 18 years or over, the Scottish Government has requested that we capture the following information:

Number of teeth present (numeric value); Number of teeth requiring restoration or extraction; Highest sextant scores with BPE. This information will be available to both practitioners and their NHS Boards in two new eSchedule reports:

Oral Health Indicators Details Report Oral Health Indicators Summary Report The Oral Health Indicators Details Report captures this information at claim level and displays the information in alphabetical order by patient surname. The Oral Health Indicators Summary Report provides a summary of the information captured for all claims for an Extensive Clinical Examination (Item 1-(a)). However, it is currently not mandatory to provide this information.

Elements of this data will be automatically derived from Practice Management Systems (PMS). However, the various PMS and PMS versions may define and capture data sets differently. Therefore, the data presented in the reports may not be consistent and/or comparable across different PMS and PMS versions.

The completeness of the data presented in the reports will be dependent on how each PMS supplier has implemented this change, i.e. if the data fields are mandatory when dentists are making a claim. Please note that data from claims submitted on or after 1 August 2024 for the July paid August payment schedule is not currently available.
