6. What is a care plan?

7. A plan for the medical care of a particular patient or the welfare of a child in care A plan, based on a nursing assessment and…diagnosis…The nursing care plan is begun when the patient is admitted to the health service…The goal of the process is to ensure that nursing care is consistent with the patient's needs and progress toward self-care. A written nursing care plan should be a part of every patient's chart. Strategiesdesigned to guide health care professionals involved with patient care. Such plans are patient specific and are meant to address the total status of the patient. Care plans are intended to ensure optimal outcomes for patients during the course of their care. A document developed after the patient assessment that identifies the nursing diagnoses to be addressed in the hospital or clinic. The plan of care includes the objectives, nursing interventions, and time frame for accomplishment and evaluation. It should be formulated with input from the patient and the patient's family. A care plan is a written statement of your individual assessed needs identified during a Community Care Assessment. It sets out what support you should get, why, when, and details of who is meant to provide it. You are entitled to be given a copy of your care plan.

11. CMS Definition of a Care Plan • We propose to describe a care plan as the structure used to define the management actions for the various conditions, problems, or issues. • For purposes of meaningful use measurement we propose that a care plan must include at a minimum the following components: • Problem (the focus of the care plan) • Goal (the target outcome) • Any instructions that the provider has given to the patient • A goal is a defined target or measure to be achieved in the process of patient care (an expected outcome).

13. Standards and Interoperability A longitudinal care plan is needed in the health care delivery system to allow for continuous interactions between the care team and the patient using data exchange and to support the goal of a virtual care team approach to chronic disease management and long term/post acute care.

14. S&I: Problems • Patient deficits are identified in several ways. For example, medical problems are one type of deficit and are based on Medical Diagnoses. Nursing diagnoses are another source of information for identifying patient problems. • HL7 uses the concept of “Health Concern” to more completely express the range of deficits patients may experience. Health Concerns are identified through a number of processes.

15. S&I: Goals • Segmentation of Goals by patient preferences and desired outcomes. • Goals may effect a number of outcomes achieved by interventions on multiple Health Concerns. • The relationship of the outcomes from interventions and the cumulative effect of multiple interventions on the achievement of patient goals is thought to be an essential functional requirement.
