Introduction
Care Plan has been balloted in 2007 as DSTU. However, a number of ballot issues were not resolved satisfactorily and consequently the balloted contents did not reach DSTU status.
The project plan initiated in 2011 is to first develop a Domain Analysis Model (DAM) for the Care Plan, and then decide on follow on activities. The HDF 1.5 (HL7 development framework) approach will be followed. HL7 PC will work together with various groups including HL7 Work Groups (e.g. EHR, Structured documents), IHE, NEHTA, Canada Health Infoway, and others.
The Care Plan DAM project concluded in 2014 after complete resolution of informative ballot 2 comments.
Post Care Plan DAM publication: the PCWG care plan project moves into the following areas of activities:
- (1) Harmonization of the Care Plan model with FHIR care plan model
- (2) Harmonization of the Care Plan model with C-CDA R2 care plan templates

Meeting Agendas and Minutes
Care Plan Domain Analysis Model (DAM) Documents
Current Care Plan DAM
- November 2015 - Pre-publication Draft Care Plan DAM specification
- ~ The pre-publication draft of Care Plan DAM specification is intended to be a "preview" of what the contents of the specification are likely to be
- ~ A number review and revision changes are anticipated to be applied to the document before it is released for final publication as HL7 Informative document:
- - Storyboard 8: how care plans are used and exchanged within the case management/disease management perspectives
- - Restructuring of the contents: it is planned that all storyboards (which are contextual and supportive in nature) will be moved into the appendix section and not being placed in the main body of the document
- - Note - due to the (2MB) file size limitation of the HL7 wiki, the draft document has been split into two parts. Consequently, the section and line numbers be disrupted

Care Plan Models and Related Projects
Care Team Definition Project
Introduction
The US ONC (Office of National Coordination for Health IT) is supporting an initiative to review the FHIR Care Team resource and to define what constitutes a care team, the types of care team, and code values required for supporting the implementation of the CareTeam resource in various care settings.
This initiative has attracted the participation and contributions from domain experts and industry stakeholders. The group meets weekly via conference calls on Friday at 4:00pm US Eastern.
A number of artefacts/documents have been produced as the analysis and discussions progress over time. These documents are uploaded to the ONC CareTeam Definition Confluence page. Interested parties outside this group may not be able to access these documents.
At a PCWG conference call, it was discussed and agreed that it is highly useful for these documents to be made available to the HL7 PCWG members. Members from the PCWG who contribute to the ONC CareTeam definition initiative agrees to make the documents they created also available on the PCWG Care Plan wiki.

Care Plan Models Harmonization
Care Plan Mode - FHIR Harmonization
- Contents to go into here
Care Plan Model - C-CDA Care Plan Template harmonization
- Placeholder for C-CDA care plan templates harmonization work
- PCWG Care Plan Model and C-CDA R2.x Care Plan templates Collaborative
- ~ PCWG and Structured Document Workgroup have collaborated closely to harmonize the PCWG care plan models and the C-CDA R2.x care plan templates. The collaboration activities are continuing.
- ~ C-CDA R2.x includes a set of sections and entry templates to support care plan exchanges.
- - These templates were developed in parallel to the Care Plan DAM informative ballot 1 contents.
- - Also in scope for exploration/discussion is the terminology/code sets required to support Care Plan implementations
- ~ The Care Plan DAM has since gone through the second cycle of informative ballot, which results in further changes to the original DAM design.
- ~ It is anticipated that there may be differences between the care plan model as published in the DAM informative ballot 2 document and the C-CDA R2 care plan templates.
- ~ The harmonization activities are intended to address these differences such that the two sets of artefacts are as closely aligned as possible
- Place holder for Care Plan Model - C-CDA R2.x harmonization contents
C-CDA R2.x Case Management/Disease Management Care Plan Implementation:
- - The need to use Care Plan in chronic conditions case management/disease management was raised as ballot comments in response to the first informative Care Plan DAM ballot in 2013.
- - The PCWG Care Plan team received storyboard contributions on case management/disease management which was balloted and finalised through ballot comments reconciliation processes. This storyboard is scheduled for publication in the final Care Plan DAM specification before October 2015 WGM
- - A project has been initiated to implement case management/disease management care plan as C-CDA R2.x compliant documents
- Project documents are available via the following wiki link:
Important Discussion Topics
During the development of the Care Plan models and related work, a number of topics continue to attract numerous inputs and debates.
They include:
- Types of Plan: The concepts "Care Plan", "Plan of Care" and "Treatment/management Plan" attracted extensive debates over a long period of time. Summary of the discussions and final resolution/decision is available on this wiki page:
- Types of Plan - Differentiation and Definitions (This topic replaces previous topic: Care Plan Definition)
- Health Concern: The Health Concern is one of the important components/concept in care plan
- This topic has been extensively debated on a number of HL7 Workgroup mailing lists.
- PCWG has a Health Concern project with the objectives of clearing defining this topic and related concepts, and how these concepts are used in patient care. Information on the Health Concern project can be access through this wiki:
- How the Health Concern and Concern Tracking topics are related to the "Health Concern", "Health Goal", "Care Activity", etc concepts identified in the Care Plan Domain Analysis Model will also be addressed by the Health Concern project
- Care Team: The composition of Care Team has also be discussed quite extensively and evolves over time. It is anticipated that this will continue to attract discussions and will continue to evolve.
- Currently, the following is a list of roles/professional roles that is considered as care team members:
- - Medical Practitioners (including all specialties and sub-specialties)
- - Nurses
- - Allied Health Practitioners (including Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist, Psychologist, Pharmacist, etc)
- - Social workers
- - Care Managers, Disease Managers, Care Coordinators
- - Patient
- - Nominated patient family members
- - Care givers/carers

- April 2015 Version
- - Please note the following:
- - Due to file size limitation imposed by HL7 wiki, the complete Care Plan DAM draft specification has been split into 3 parts
- - As the result of the split, the numbering sequence of Sections and Subsections in Part 2 and Part 3 are out of syn with the complete document
- - The documents are working drafts. Editing of the full document is still in progress. Hence the contents should not be taken as final
