# CarePlan
## Introduction
## Scope and Usage
CarePlan is one of the [request](workflow#request) resources in the FHIR [workflow](workflow) specification.
Care Plans are used in many areas of healthcare with a variety of scopes. They can be as simple as a general practitioner keeping track of when their patient is next due for a tetanus immunization through to a detailed plan for an oncology patient covering diet, chemotherapy, radiation, lab work and counseling with detailed timing relationships, pre-conditions and goals. They may be used in veterinary care or clinical research to describe the care of a herd or other collection of animals. In public health, they may describe education or immunization campaigns.
This resource takes an intermediate approach to complexity. It captures basic details about who is involved and what actions are intended without dealing in discrete data about dependencies and timing relationships. These can be supported where necessary using the extension mechanism.
The scope of care plans may vary widely. Examples include:
- Multi-disciplinary cross-organizational care plans; e.g. An oncology plan including the oncologist, home nursing staff, pharmacy and others
- Plans to manage specific disease/condition(s) (e.g. nutritional plan for a patient post bowel resection, neurological plan post head injury, prenatal plan, postpartum plan, grief management plan, etc.)
- Decision support generated plans following specific practice guidelines (e.g. stroke care plan, diabetes plan, falls prevention, etc.)
- Self-maintained patient or care-giver authored plans identifying their goals and an integrated understanding of actions to be taken. This does not include the legal Advance Directives, which should be represented with either the Consent resource with Consent.category = Advance Directive or with a specific request resource with intent = directive. Informal advance directives could be represented as a Goal, such as "I want to die at home."
This resource can be used to represent both proposed plans (for example, recommendations from a decision support engine or returned as part of a consult report) as well as active plans. The nature of the plan is communicated by the status. Some systems may need to filter CarePlans to ensure that only appropriate plans are exposed via a given user interface.
## Boundaries and Relationships
CarePlan activities can be defined using references to the various "request" resources. These references could be to resources with a status of "planned" or to an active order. It is possible for planned activities to exist (e.g. appointments) without needing a CarePlan at all. CarePlans are used when there's a need to group activities, goals and/or participants together to provide some degree of context.
The CarePlan resource represents an authorization as well as fulfillment on the service provided, while not necessarily providing all the details of such fulfillment. Further details about the fulfillment are handled by the [Task](task) resource. For further information about this separation of responsibilities, refer to the [Fulfillment/Execution](request#fulfillment) section of the Request pattern.
CarePlans can be tied to specific [Conditions](condition), however they can also be condition-independent and instead focused on a particular type of care (e.g. psychological, nutritional) or the care delivered by a particular practitioner or group of practitioners.
An [ImmunizationRecommendation](https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/immunization-incubator/en/StructureDefinition-ImmunizationRecommendation.html) can be interpreted as a narrow type of CarePlan dealing only with immunization events. Where such information could appear in either resource, the immunization-specific resource is preferred.
CarePlans represent a specific plan instance for a particular patient or group. It is not intended to be used to define generic plans or protocols that are independent of a specific individual or group. CarePlan represents a specific intent, not a general definition. Protocols and order sets are supported through [PlanDefinition](plandefinition).
## Notes
### Notes
The [Provenance](provenance) resource can be used for detailed review information, such as when the care plan was last reviewed and by whom.

- definitionUnmatched | reason=Unknown | pattern=The current state of the care plan. | resource=Indicates whether the plan is currently being acted upon, represents future intentions or is now a historical record.
- commentsUnmatched | reason=Unknown | pattern=The status is generally fully in the control of the requester - they determine whether the order is draft or active and, after it has been activated, completed, cancelled or suspended. States relating to the activities of the performer are reflected on either the corresponding]](s) or using the]] resource. A nominal state-transition diagram can be found in the] documentation Unknown does not represent "other" - one of the defined statuses must apply. Unknown is used when the authoring system is not sure what the current status is. A status of 'active' when doNotPerform is true means that the request to not perform is currently in force.
A status of completed for a "doNotPerform" request indicates that the period of non-performance is now satisfied and the request no longer holds. | resource=The unknown code is not to be used to convey other statuses. The unknown code should be used when one of the statuses applies, but the authoring system doesn't know the current state of the care plan.
This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains the code entered-in-error that marks the plan as not currently valid.
- **Request.intent** → **CarePlan.intent**
- shortUnmatched | reason=Unknown | pattern=proposal | plan | order (immutable) | resource=proposal | plan | order | option | directive

- commentsUnmatched | reason=Unknown | pattern=This element is expected to be immutable. E.g. A "proposal" instance should never change to be a "plan" instance or "order" instance. Instead, a new instance 'basedOn' the prior instance should be created with the new 'intent' value.
One exception to this is that the granularity of Request.intent is allowed to change. For example, a Request identified as an "order" might later be clarified to be a "filler-order". Or, in rarer cases (to meet recipient constraints), the reverse might also occur.
When resources map to this element, they are free to define as many codes as necessary to cover their space and will map to "proposal, plan or order". Can have multiple codes that map to one of these. E.g. "original order", "encoded order", "reflex order" would all map to "order". Expectation is that the set of codes is mutually exclusive or a strict all-encompassing hierarchy. | resource=This element is labeled as a modifier because the intent alters when and how the resource is actually applicable.
