Review of use cases

• We wanted to harmonize the model for Care Plan and Health Concern, but we did not have enough participants to discuss this topic.
• We focused on the use case 1 and 2.
  • There were doubts whether these scenarios added new views to the existing explanation.
  • We distinguished 2 approaches to health concern.
    • The first is a pro-active approach where the care provider defines a health concern and sets out health concern events. This issue might be part of care planning.
    • The second is a retrospective view on problems and where the care provider concludes that certain health care events have relationship with the concern and therefore attaches these events to the health concern.
    • A combination of these two approaches are possible. In many cases the care provider does not know on day 1 what the concern is and starts of with a review of the problems in the past. Then after a hypothesis of the concerns sets out research and finally when the diagnosis is clear, defines a care plan.
    • The second approach is a characteristic of the health concern. The first approach is how the care plan addresses the health concern.
  • A Care plan is usually only defined in complex care, because it is labor intensive. Many health concerns do not have a formal care plan.

We will discuss the relationship between Care Plan and Health Concern on Wednesday 22 April 5 pm and Thursday 23 April 4 pm.
