Care Plan

Dedicated Zulip chat stream for this track.

Submitting WG/Project/Implementer Group

Previous Care Plan Connectathons

Justification

This track is intended to advance the maturity of FHIR resources for care planning (CarePlan, CareTeam, Goal, Condition, and others) and to document industry best practices for improving care coordination using shared care plans. This work will inform the development of more comprehensive implementation guides and profiles for care planning based on FHIR Release 3 (STU), which is the primary target for testing in this track. This connectathon track will be coordinated with testing of CarePlan by Clinicians on FHIR where they focus on clinical interoperability and harmonizing differences between the technical and clinical perspectives of FHIR resources.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently published an article that describes a vision for a Comprehensive Shared Care Plan (CSCP). HHS identifies these goals for a CSCP:

  • It should allow a clinician to electronically view information that is directly relevant to his or her role in the care of the person; to easily identify which clinician is doing what; and to update other members of an interdisciplinary team on new developments.
  • It should put the person’s goals (captured in his or her own words) at the center of decision-making and give that individual direct access to his or her information in the CSCP.
  • It should be holistic and describe both clinical and nonclinical (including home- and community-based) needs and services.
  • It should follow the person through high-need episodes (e.g., acute illness), as well as periods of health improvement and maintenance.

Roles

Care Plan Server

A FHIR server (version 3.0) should support the following resources for this track:

  • CarePlan, CareTeam, Goal, Condition
  • Other resources as needed for value of CarePlan.activity.reference

A FHIR server is available for testing with sample data that represent several care plan scenarios.

Care Plan Requestor

This connectathon track imposes few requirements for interested participants to evaluate and test retrieval of care plan resources from a Care Plan Server. We wish to encourage discussion and testing that will lead to robust industry support for shared care plans. Thus, a requestor role could be fulfilled by a range of applications, such as the following:

  • Debug testing tools for RESTful services, e.g. Postman, that allow query of participating Responders using a variety of parameters such as plan category or date.
  • SMART on FHIR applications that embed Care Plan review and editing capabilities into any EHR system that supports these services.
  • SMART on FHIR mobile applications that enable patients to view, contribute to, or check off completed activities included in a care plan created by their care team member(s).

CDS Service Requestor

  • Invoke a CDS Hooks Service that guides a clinician or a patient toward fulfillment of a Care Plan's goals, or suggests additional activities based on clinical practice guidelines. The CDS Hooks Service provides real-time clinical decision support as a remote service, where the CDS Server is invoked on a desired hook and returns the decision support in the form of CDS cards.
    • Evaluate progress toward care plan goals
      • Query and analyze relevant Observations related to a Goal target measure (e.g. blood glucose, weight, etc.)
      • Notify care team members when insufficient progress
    • Using clinical practice guidelines for preventive care or chronic condition management, recommend additions to care plan activities

Scenarios

This track emphasizes dynamic care planning clinical scenarios where the care plan is created, accessed, or updated by multiple providers during the provision of healthcare, and the care plan is used by a patient or his/her caregivers to perform patient-assigned activities.

Chronic Conditions

The purpose of this scenario is to illustrate the creation and communication flow of care plan(s) between a patient, his or her primary care provider, consulted specialists, home health care, and family caregivers involved in care for chronic conditions. This scenario is based on Section 3.4 of the HL7 Care Plan Domain Analysis Model (DAM) documents dated 2015-11-04. Key actors in this scenario include:

  • Primary Care Physician
    • Patient has current care plan for pre-existing condition (e.g. Hypertension)
    • Diagnosis of new condition (e.g. Diabetes), creation of a new care plan or addition to existing primary care plan
  • Specialist Referral (e.g. Dietitian) in a different provider organization, creates a new care plan
  • Coordinate and notify care plan updates between provider organizations

Maternity Care Coordination

This scenario is based on a realistic Veteran Persona developed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, but may also represent coordination of care for any pregnancy. "Meghan" is a post-9/11 Veteran who served in Afghanistan and is recovering from a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and PTSD. Meghan recently became pregnant with her third child and is coordinating care plans between her primary care provider at VA and a community provider outside of VA for her prenatal care. Meghan has concerns about possible negative effects of her PTSD anti-anxiety medication on her new baby. The key actors in this scenario are:

  • Meghan, the patient
  • Dr. Francis, MD, primary care provider at VA
  • Dr.Beach, PsyD, VA Psychotherapist counselor for Meghan's PTSD and anxiety conditions
  • Vera, RN, the Maternity Care Coordinator (MCC) at VA helps manage Meghan's non-VA prenatal care
  • Dr. Rattle, OB/GYN from non-VA provider, responsible for Meghan's prenatal care plan

Malnutrition

This scenario was created by the HL7 Nutrition Management project team.

An elderly male (70 year old) with existing conditions (previous smoker with lung cancer & COPD), living alone in home with limited income, recent unintended wt loss >20 lbs. Admitted to hospital due to injury from a fall.

  • Malnutrition screen
  • Nutrition/Dietitian Consult Order (inpatient) (Referral Request)
  • Nutrition Assessment performed by dietitian including nutrition focused physical exam with findings of muscle wasting and loss of subcutaneous fat, poor daily intake < estimated nutrient needs
    • Explore using new method of recording actual/reported intake by patient
  • Nutrition Care Plan developed including reference to:
    • Nutrition Intervention – Nutrition Orders to modify diet and add high calorie/high protein oral nutritional supplement 2x/day (see NutritionOrder Resource)
    • Nutrition Education – referral to outpatient dietitian for follow-up
  • Care Coordination – (referral for community services - e.g. Meals on Wheels, and Home Health Services upon discharge)

Care plans should be updated and shared with outpatient dietitian, PCP and Home Health Agency, patient and family caregiver (daughter)
