Identifying Clinical Variations Across <scp>NSW</scp> Public Dental Service: An Essential Step to Develop a Roadmap for Value‐Based Oral Healthcare
This research identified significant variations in general dental adult and child treatments provided across NSW LHDs which cannot be attributed or explained demographically. The presence of unwarranted clinical variation would suggest disproportionate and inequitable care delivery across NSW public dental services. Addressing unwarranted clinical variation will likely promote fairer and more equitable provision of public oral health with enhanced patient outcomes.
