New to Care Plan – Longitudinal Care Plan

As a part of CPC+ compliance, we made enhancements to Care Plan. You now manage a patient's health concerns from the Longitudinal Care Plan page, which is accessible from the Longitudinal tab (previously called Health Concern).

New – Social Determinants

To comply with CPC+ requirements, we added Social Determinants information to Social History so you can assess and meet a patient's psychosocial needs.

• Financial Resource Strain

• Education

• Stress

• Depression (includes PHQ-2 score)

• Physical Activity

• Alcohol Use (includes AUDIT-C score)

• Social Connection and Isolation (includes NHANES score)

Answers to questions in the Depression, Alcohol Use, Social Connection and Isolation, and Exposure to Violence provides a PHQ-2, AUDIT-C, NHANES, and HARK score, respectively.
