care planning
Mapping support needs
Care planning is the process of developing a coordinated strategy for someone's ongoing needs, typically in healthcare or social services.
A care plan outlines goals, treatments, and responsibilities: The nurse walked us through Mom's care planning before discharge.
Care planning often involves the patient, family members, and multiple providers working together to address medical, emotional, and practical concerns.
