Does "patients in care" mean "patients in clinical care"?

Context:
Modeling cost-effectiveness and health gains of a “universal” versus “prioritized” hepatitis C virus treatment policy in a real-life cohort
Abstract

We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of two alternative direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment policies in a real-life cohort of hepatitis C virus–infected patients: policy 1, “universal,” treat all patients, regardless of fibrosis stage; policy 2, treat only “prioritized” patients, delay treatment of the remaining patients until reaching stage F3. A liver disease progression Markov model, which used a lifetime horizon and health care system perspective, was applied to the PITER cohort (representative of Italian hepatitis C virus–infected patients in care).

In Britain, the phrase 'in care' is only used about children or elderly people (e.g. dementia sufferers) who are being looked after by the municipality in 'care homes'. An ordinary patient in hospital might be said to be 'in treatment'.

Yes; The people in these groups are in treatment and they are receiving care in these closed groups.
