This is the Continuous Integration Build of the USCoreR4 Implementation Guide, based on FHIR Version 3.6.0. See the Directory of published versions
StructureDefinition-us-core-careplan
This profile sets minimum expectations for the CarePlan resource to record search and fetch assessment and plan of treatment data associated with a patient. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets SHALL be present in the resource when using this profile.
Example Usage Scenarios:
The following are example usage scenarios for the US Core-CarePlan profile:
- Query for a care plan belonging to a Patient
- Record or update an existing care plan
Mandatory Data Elements and Terminology
The following data-elements are mandatory (i.e data MUST be present). These are presented below in a simple human-readable explanation. Profile specific guidance and examples are provided as well. The Formal Profile Definition below provides the formal summary, definitions, and terminology requirements.
Each CarePlan must have:
- a narrative summary of the patient assessment and plan of treatment
- a status
- an intent
- a category code of “assess-plan”
- a patient
Profile specific implementation guidance:
- none

This profile builds on CarePlan
Complete Summary of the Mandatory Requirements
- A narrative summary in
CarePlan.text
- CarePlan.text.status is either “generated” or “additional”
- One status in
CarePlan.status
- CarePlan.status is bound to CarePlanStatus Value set
- One intent in
CarePlan.intent
- CarePlan.intent is bound to CarePlanIntent Value set
- A category in
Careplan.category
which must have:- a fixed
Careplan.category.coding.system
= “http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core-r4/CodeSystem/careplan-category” - a fixed

Quick Start
Below is an overview of the required set of RESTful FHIR interactions - for example, search and read operations - for this profile. See the Conformance requirements for a complete list of supported RESTful interactions for this IG.
GET /CarePlan?patient=[id]&category=assess-plan
Example: GET [base]/CarePlan?patient=1137192&category=assess-plan
Support: Mandatory to support search by patient.
Implementation Notes: Search for all patient assessments and plans of treatment for a patient. Fetches a bundle of all CarePlan resources for the specified patient (how to search by reference) and (how to search by token).
GET /CarePlan?patient=[id]&category=assess-plan&date=[date]
Example:
- GET [base]/CarePlan?patient=1137192&category=assess-plan&date=ge2015-01-14
- GET [base]/CarePlan?patient=1137192&category=assess-plan&date=ge2015-01-14&date=le2016-01-14
Support: Mandatory to support search by date
Implementation Notes: Search for all assessment and plan of treatment for a patient within a time period. Fetches a bundle of all CarePlan resources for the specified patient for a specified time period. (how to search by reference), (how to search by token) and (how to search by date).
GET /CarePlan?patient=[id]&category=assess-plan&status=active
Example: GET [base]/CarePlan?patient=1137192&status=active
Support: SHOULD support search by patient and status = ‘active’.
Implementation Notes: SHOULD support search by reference and status. (how to search by reference), (how to search by token).
GET /CarePlan?patient=[id]&category=assess-plan&status=active&date=[date]
Example: GET [base]/CarePlan?patient=1137192&category=assess-plan&datatus=active&date=ge2015-01-14
Support: SHOULD support search by patient and status = ‘active’ and date.
Implementation Notes: Search for all active assessment and plan of treatment for a patient within a time period. Fetches a bundle of all active (careplan = “active”) CarePlan resources for the specified patient for a specified time period. (how to search by reference), (how to search by token) and (how to search by date).
