Return to: Types of Plan - Differentiation and Definitions page


There are three different contexts of use. The differentiating characteristics are: the level of complexity and the duration for which the type of [care] plan is used/remains active.

Level 1

This is the simplest of all the types of plan used with limited scope and complexity.

(Note: It may be referred to as "treatment plan")


The Subject/Target

  • Patient/subject of care

The Author(s)

  • Patient's primary care provider/general practitioner
  • Patient's specialist provider in clinic or hospital practice

Scope and Complexity

  • Provider centric
  • Problem-oriented
  • Part of SOAP documentation
  • Within boundary of single disciple and single care setting/organization

Timeframe/Duration of Use

  • Encounter-based (i.e. a new/different plan is generated per encounter)
  • Or problem-based (i.e. the same plan may get revised on subsequent encounter/visit until problem requiring care is resolved)



Level 2

This type of plan is used in managing patients with more complex conditions during an episode of care (usually of limited duration)

(Note: This type of plan is often referred to as "care plan" or "plan of care")


The subject/target

  • The patient/subject of care

The author(s)

  • The patient's health care provider(s), or health care team

The Scope and Complexity

  • Provider-centric
  • Problem-oriented: involving one or more problems
  • Across multiple disciplines/departments (e.g. involving treating physicians/surgeons, nurses, allied health providers, social workers)
  • Within the boundary of same health care setting/organization
  • May be used as care coordination tool within the boundary of same health care organization

Timeframe/Duration

  • Problem(s)-based: plan in use and subjected to changes in response to changing patient condition
  • Episode of care-based: plan in use until the episode of care (e.g. hospitalization) is completed



Level 3

This is the most complex form of plan used for coordinating the care/management of patient with multiple and complex chornic conditions.

(Note: It is also known as "care plan", "shared care plan", or "comprehensive care plan").


The Subject/Target

  • the patient/subject of care
  • the family/significant others

The author(s)

  • The healthcare team
  • The patient/family

The Scope and Complexity

  • Patient/consumer-centric
  • Problem(s)-oriented: health problems are complex and chronic
  • Across multiple-discipline, multiple care settings/organization boundaries
  • Used as care coordination tool across care setting boundaries for managing multiple, complex health problems/conditions

Timeframe/Duration

  • longitudinal/lifelong (for duration of lifespan of chronic condition)
