About the data:
The above measures look at:
- client visits to public dental services
- clients treated (year-to-date)
- hospital-initiated postponements.
About client visits to public dental services
A client visit is recorded every time a person attends a public dental service. A client may have more than one visit during the course of their care.
About clients treated (year-to-date)
Counts each client only once, regardless of how many visits they make to a public dental service during their course of care (clients may have multiple visits).
Data is presented cumulatively. For example, data shown in Quarter 2 (Oct-Dec) of the financial year is the total number of clients treated in Quarter 1 (Jul-Sep) and Quarter 2 (Oct-Dec). Quarter 4 (Apr-Jun) totals reflect the total number of clients treated for the entire financial year.
About hospital-initiated postponements per 100 scheduled appointments
Shows number of times an appointment was postponed by the public dental service provider, per 100 scheduled appointments.
