- If your users are care providers, such as physicians or therapists, a problem-oriented approach is the most efficient way to interact with a care plan. They don’t always need goals.
- If your users are mainly care coordinators, a goal-based approach is the most efficient way to use a care plan. They don’t necessarily look at problems.
- Sometimes, your users include a range of direct service providers to the patient or member, such as family caregivers, therapists, or nutrition consultants. To help them to use a care plan most efficiently, you can set up care plans with only tasks.
