Care options / Care planning
Care planning
Discuss the purpose, limitations and alternatives of the options a clinician recommends. Understand any proposed visits and costs before agreeing to a plan.
Understand the reasoning and the boundaries.
A care plan should connect the assessment with a proposed next step. Ask why an option is recommended, what its limitations are and how it relates to other healthcare advice. The plan needs your understanding before any continuing commitment is agreed.
