Exemption Feature
Exempting a recall means that the recall will no longer appear in the "Outstanding" or "Pending" tab. It also means that you can choose specific patients who should not automatically be contacted even if a disease register is being automated.
There are a number of reasons why you may wish to exempt a patient. For example, if the patient is having monitoring carried out via the hospital, if a patient is palliative / end of life, or if there is a clinical reason not to monitor a patient via the standard guidelines.
How To Exempt A Recall
Click on the "Edit | Delete" Recall button in the patient's profile.

Then check the "Exemption" checkbox and click "Save".

Exempted Recalls Feature
The Recalls Settings page has an Exemption feature, which allows your surgery to periodically review your exempted recalls.
Exemption Feature Overview
Opening the Exemption Feature will reveal all of your Exempted recalls.
Review Exempted Recalls
