PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND REPORTING. Performance indicators 18. Achievement of the objectives and outcomes in this Agreement will be informed with reference to the following performance indicators: (a) number of adult patients on public dental waiting lists; (b) waiting time for adult patients on public dental waiting lists; (c) number of adult patients and the number of services provided to them, measured in Dental Weighted Activity Units (DWAUs); (d) number of Indigenous adult patients and the number of services provided to them, measured in DWAU; (e) total number of adult patients in rural and regional areas and the number of services provided to them, measured in DWAU; and (f) number of services provided by the private sector for adult public patients, measured in DWAU. Dental Weighted Activity Xxxxx0 00. Throughput under this Agreement will be measured in terms of DWAUs, calculated using the Australian Dental Association (ADA) three digit item codes and a weighting for those items as set out in Schedule B2. 20. Nothing in this Agreement prevents a State using its own reporting or performance measures within its jurisdiction. However, States will still be required to report to the Commonwealth in the format provided in Schedule B-2. 21. The Parties agree to meet the following performance benchmarks, which will be assessed relative to the 2013-14 baseline as defined in clause 16(b): (a) the States will at least maintain their baseline levels of DWAU, as identified as the 2013-14 baseline defined in clause 16(b) ; and (b) over the life of the Agreement, the States will provide the additional numbers of DWAU set out in Table 1. 22. Payments will not be made unless the State has achieved at least 65 per cent of the performance benchmark for that period. At and above that threshold, payments will be paid proportional to the achievement against the performance benchmark on a pro rata basis, from 65 per cent to 100 per cent of funding (for achieving 100 per cent of the throughput target). If a performance benchmark is not fully met, the amount of any unmet performance benchmark and the remaining available funding tied to the unmet benchmark may be added to a subsequent period, subject to Commonwealth Budget Rules. Any amount achieved above 100 per cent of the target may be transferred into a subsequent period, subject to Commonwealth Budget Rules. 1 One Dental Weighted Activity Unit is roughly equivalent to completed treatment for one adult patient.
