Notes

NOTE Assessment of needs for healthcare activities includes identification of health objectives and/or healthcare goals. These inform decisions about relevant activities to create or update the care plan.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1 The target condition for a worker that arrived at the Emergency Room with a broken arm is to be fully functional for work in the shortest time period.

EXAMPLE 2 The target condition of a newly diagnosed diabetic adolescent boy is maintenance of his HbA1c at less than 48 mmol/mol. (HbA1c is a lab test that shows the average level of blood sugar (glucose) over the previous 3 months; it shows how well diabetes is being controlled).
