CarePlan describes the intention of how one or more practitioners intend to deliver care for a particular patient, group or community for a period of time, possibly limited to care for a specific condition or set of conditions.

CarePlan can represent both proposed plans (for example, recommendations from a decision support engine or returned as part of a consult report) as well as active plans.
