This indicator measures the expenditure on the health care function “outpatient long-term care (health)” (SHA HC.3.3) in million national currency units following the System of Health Accounts (SHA; OECD et al. 2011). Expenditure refers to the payments related to final consumption of all health care goods and services by the resident units. The function outpatient long-term care (health) comprises long-term care (health) services that have the purpose of managing damaged health conditions and the associated clinical difficulties. Dependent patients with a chronic condition may require periodic verification of medication doses and of the evolution of their condition, and advice on how to handle symptoms that emerge as the disease evolves. These services may refer to regular outpatient visits or to the increasing provision of remote monitoring services for LTC patients.
