Before you begin

    The My Plan template opens.
  3. If required, select the assessment in the Today's Assessments field.
    The My Plan template, which is part of a group of templates, uses the last assessment or diagnosis selected on any of the templates in the group as the working assessment. The system defaults to the current working assessment. You can select another assessment, which becomes the new working assessment that carries forward to the other templates in the group. The selected assessment appears in the Selected Dx field.
    The system displays the order set for the associated diagnosis category.
