FHIR Care Plan of Treatment and Assessment

Overview

Assessment and Plan of Treatment addresses to the CarePlan HL7® FHIR® resource. The FHIR CarePlan resource describes the intentions of how one or more practitioners plan to deliver care to a specific patient. This resource is designed for stating specific activities related to a single patient, rather than generic protocols for condition treatment.

FHIR CarePlan can 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.

Each CarePlan has next elements:

  • a narrative summary of the patient assessment and plan of treatment
  • a status
  • an intent
  • a category code of “assess-plan”
  • a patient

Profile specific implementation guidance:

  • Additional considerations for systems aligning with HL7 Consolidated (C-CDA) Care Plan requirements:
    • US Core Goal SHOULD be present in CarePlan.goal
    • US Core Condition SHOULD be present in CarePlan.addresses
    • Assessment and Plan MAY be included as narrative text

This resource conforms to USCDI V1 profile for CarePlan - refers to US Core CarePlan Profile. CarePlan response will be provided in JSON (refers to Capability Statement) format as per FHIR standard R4 version.
