About Manage Care Plans

Path: Clinical tab > Care Plans button

Care Plans are in Office Practicum to help monitor a patient's health maintenance schedule. They can also be customized and created for an individual or group of patients for any ongoing problems where specific screenings, vitals, or tests need to be completed. Once the Care Plans are active for a patient, Office Practicum will prompt the user, according to the type of enrollment and level of the user, to evaluate if the patient should be enrolled in the respective Care Plan.

Note: The Bright Futures Preventive Care Plan is linked with the Diagnostic Test Management table and the Vital Signs/Growth Chart table to determine whether a patient has had standard measurements and screening tests performed, which are listed below:

  • Well baby visits according to the standard AAP schedule, with documentation of height, weight, head circumference, and development
  • After age 2, annual preventive exams with height, weight, and BMI. Vision, hearing, and blood pressure after age three. Developmental assessment up until age 5.
  • Newborn Metabolic Screen and newborn hearing screen.
  • Hemoglobin & Lead at one and two years of age. Children with WIC require more frequent anemia screens.
  • Annual lead risk assessment until age 6, with lead levels if there's a risk of exposure.
  • Annual "TB risk" assessment and if positive, a PPD.
  • Another anemia screen in adolescence.
  • Cholesterol screen in adolescence, but earlier if there are risk factors.
