| Relevance/rationale of the indicator (resp. why the indicator was chosen to measure the target and how it is suitable for these purposes) |
It quantifies the emphasis on a preventive approach in health care and it shows the financial situation within one of the determinants of health. The indicator is composed of items related to both primary and secondary prevention, which include very different types of activities. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the development of individual sub-components of the indicator and to monitor expenditures on primary and secondary prevention separately. |
