Care plans must include goals and interventions for ongoing assessment to ensure continuity of care and effective monitoring of patient progress. Including all the steps for a procedure in the written plan may be too specific and may limit flexibility in care. Plans should incorporate preventive and health maintenance aspects to promote overall wellness. Plans may be broad for the planned interventions, but they should still include specific goals and interventions for ongoing assessment.
