In Nonprofit Cloud Case Management, a Care Plan is the central roadmap for a client's journey toward a specific outcome. While Care Plan Templates provide a standardized starting point, the philosophy of person-centered care requires that these plans be customizable to the unique circumstances of each participant.
A Care Plan is structurally composed of two primary "actionable" building blocks:
Goal Assignments: These represent the milestones the client is working toward (e.g., "Secure Stable Housing" or "Complete GED"). While a template might include five standard goals, a caseworker can manually add a sixth Goal Assignment that is unique to that client’s specific barriers.
Benefit Assignments: These are the services or resources provided to help the client achieve their goals (e.g., "Rental Assistance" or "Weekly Tutoring"). A caseworker can manually link additional Benefits to a Care Plan to ensure the participant has the specific support they need.
Step-by-Step Customization Workflow:
Template Application: The caseworker begins by applying a standard template, which populates the Care Plan with a set of pre-defined goal and benefit assignments.
Assessment Review: After a Dynamic Assessment, the caseworker identifies an unmet need.
Manual Entry: Within the Care Plan interface, the caseworker clicks "New" on the Goal Assignment related list to create a custom goal. They then do the same for Benefit Assignments to link the client to a specific service.
Linking: The caseworker can then link the manual Benefit Assignment to the manual Goal Assignment to show exactly how that service contributes to the client's progress.
Option B is incorrect because Programs and Program Enrollments are the broader containers that a client is part of. While a Care Plan exists within the context of an enrollment, you don't "add an enrollment" to a plan; rather, the plan is a subset of the enrollment. Option A refers to compliance and document tracking, which are managed via Action Plans, not the core clinical/social service logic of the Care Plan itself.
