Manage Complex Patients with Concurrent Care Plans

One size doesn’t fit all in the healthcare world. You can manage patients with one condition of limited duration or you can manage patients with several chronic medical issues. When concurrent care plans are enabled in your org, you can break a patient’s care into focused, manageable units.

From the patient card menu, you can easily manage any care plan associated with the patient. You can also open a care plan and work on it in its own tab. In the All Care Plans view, you can see and manage every detail of a given care plan.

In the Care Plans section of the Patient Card menu, you have the tools to effectively manage your patient. Click the OPEN NEW TAB picklist and navigate to the Care Plans section.

• Select All Care Plans to view and manage all the care plans related to the patient.

• New Care Plan lets you create a care plan for the patient. A new case for that person opens in a subtab, where you can enter the important details for the new care plan. Make sure to include the name of the care plan in the Subject field.
• View a single care plan in its own tab by selecting it from the menu.
• View number of care plans shown in the menu. The patient card menu lists up to 25 open care plans out of the total number for that patient. To view the remaining care plans, use the All Care Plans menu option.

The New Care Plan button lets you create a care plan or open and close the care plans. Up to five care plans at a time appear, but you can access the next five care plans by clicking More at the bottom of the list. The care plans you’ve modified most recently display first.

• View a list of care plans in separate subtabs based on their status. You can work with open care plans, closed care plans, or all care plans associated with a patient regardless of status.
• Select New Care Plan button to create a care plan for the patient. A new case for that person opens in a subtab, where you can enter the important details for the new care plan. Make sure to include the name of the care plan in the Subject field.
• Manage the amount of detail that you see for all care plans. Expand All Care Plans opens every care plan one-level—exposing the subtabs for problems and goals, tasks, and the care team. Collapse All Care Plans closes the list of care plans so that only the top-level information like the care plan name and other information appears.
