This indicator measures the financing scheme "current expenditure (health)" (SHA 1.0) on the health care provider "residential long-term care facilities" (SHA HP.2) in million national currency units following the System of Health Accounts (SHA; OECD et al. 2011). Current expenditure on health care quantifies the final consumption expenditure of resident units on health care goods and services. The health care provider "residential long-term care facilities" comprises establishments that are primarily engaged in providing residential long-term care that combines nursing, supervisory or other types of care as required by the residents. In these establishments, a significant part of the production process and the care provided is a mix of health and social services, with the health services being largely at the level of nursing care, in combination with personal care services. The medical components of care are, however, much less intensive than those provided in hospitals.
