# Create a Care Plan Template Goal

Care plan template goals are common health targets that care coordinators can reuse in different care plans. Care coordinators can add predefined goals to a patient’s care plan, saving time and effort. For example, a care plan template goal for patients with type 2 diabetes is Dietary Changes, with details of low-sugar meal plans. You can create a care plan template goal to use in your care plan template or template problem.

### Required Editions

Create a template goal for a specific care plan template, directly from that template’s related list. You can also create a custom Care Plan Template Goals tab and add the tab to the Health Cloud custom apps. You can include any additional fields you need to the Care Plan Template Goals object’s page layout.
