What types of 'plans' evolve from a team meeting?

• A. A care plan
• B. Service plan
• C. Plan of care
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

When a team meets to plan for a client, they map out different aspects of support, and several related plan documents can emerge. A plan of care (often called a care plan in many settings) translates medical orders and daily health needs into concrete tasks, documenting who will do what, how often, and how progress is monitored. A service plan focuses on the specific services the client will receive, detailing which agency will provide them, the frequency, and coordination with other supports. In some settings the plan of care and the care plan are used interchangeably or together as part of an integrated approach to the client’s needs. Because the team’s discussion covers health, daily living support, and service delivery, all these plan types can evolve from a single meeting.
