Existing Wording
CarePlan Reources

Proposed Wording
Possible Resource Implementations:
- Composition (Document)
- SimpleCarePlan (Action Plan)
- ComplexCarePlan
(Chronic Disease Management)
(Many Conditions)

Comments
CarePlans are often implemented using Documents, should CarePlan be a type of Composition. There are simple CarePlan that focus on a single Condition, example Asthma Action Plan. There are very complex Care Plans for treating many conditions, example Coordination of Care. The patient conditions are assessed and prioritized, reasonable goals are set with the patients imput.
Should we consider a SimpleCarePlan and ComplexCarePlan and profile to various types? We have over 20 Action Plans (Simple) and only a few Coordination of Care Plans (Complex) for complex or chronic disease management.

Not persuasive

Disposition Comment
Careplans can be conveyed within documents but must be distinct as care plans must be shareable using all 4 exchange paradigms. General convention in FHIR is to define a single resource and use profiling to manage varying levels of complexity
