care plan
Patient management outline
A care plan is a document outlining how a patient's medical, personal, or social needs will be addressed.
Healthcare providers create care plans to coordinate treatment, set goals, and track progress: The nursing home developed a care plan for each resident.
Care plans appear in hospitals, home health settings, and social services, ensuring everyone involved understands their role in someone's care.
