Add Interventions to an Existing Care Plan
You can add interventions to an existing care plan by creating Task records. If you’re adding interventions for problems or goals that already have action plans, you can create action plan tasks. If you’re adding interventions for problems or goals that don’t have action plans or are created manually, you have to create standard tasks.

When you create care plans, problems, goals, and interventions with the care plan creation work flow, action plans are created for them automatically. However, if you add a care plan, problem, or goal manually, they don’t have action plans.
-
If you’re adding interventions to problems or goals that already have action plans, follow
these steps:
- From the App Launcher, find and select Action Plans.
- Select the action plan that you’re adding the intervention to.
- In the Items tab, click New on the Tasks list.
- Enter a display name for the intervention in the Subject field.
- Set the intervention’s priority in the Priority field.
-
In the Days field, enter the number of days the intervention
needs.
The due date for the intervention is calculated by adding this value to the current date when the task is created.
- If the intervention is mandatory, select Required.
- In the Task assignment section, select the user responsible for the intervention.
- If you want to send the assignee a reminder on the due date, select the checkbox in the Reminder section and select a time for the reminder.
-
Save the intervention.
The intervention is now created and automatically added to the action plan’s target record.
-
If you’re adding interventions to problems or goals that don’t have action plans, follow
these steps:
-
Navigate to the patient account, case, or clinical service request record page and go to
the care plan interface.
If you can’t find the care plan interface, talk to your Salesforce admin for help.
- In the Actions menu of the appropriate care plan, condition, social determinant, or goal, click Add Intervention.
- Enter a name for the task in the Subject field.
- Set a due date, status, and priority.
- Select the person that the intervention is assigned to.
- Click Add.
-
Navigate to the patient account, case, or clinical service request record page and go to
the care plan interface.
Now that the necessary problems, goals, and interventions are ready, let’s add a care team for the care plan.
