Some of the data in the Treatment Plan panel is shared with the Individual Action Plan and IAP Review templates. Updates must be made from IAP or IAP Review templates by clicking the respective links. Any new goals, objectives and interventions must be entered here.

  1. In the Functional area field, do one of the following:
    • Click to select a value from the picklist.
    • Click the top, blank row from the picklist to type an entry in the field.
    Making a selection from the Functional area picklist automatically opens picklists for you to choose goals and objectives.
  2. Click the Goal field to select a pre-existing value based on the functional area selection.
    This field is required before you can document data in the objective or intervention fields. If you attempt to enter the goal with an existing description, the following alert appears: A goal with this description already exists for this person. Please select that goal in the IAP or IAP Review to update status or other aspects of the goal as desired. This goal will not be added, as it is already present.
  3. In the Objective field, click to select a value based on the documented functional and goal values.
    This required field is not available until Goal data is present. Another alert launches if you try to enter a previously recorded Goal with the same Objective: An objective with this description already exists for this person and this goal. Please select that objective in the IAP or IAP Review to update status or other aspects of the objective as desired. This objective will not be added, as it is already present.
  4. Type up to 200 characters describing the client's planned Intervention in the associated field.
    This field is read-only until there is data present in the Goals and Objectives fields. Attempting to enter the recently recorded Goal and Objective with an already documented Intervention prompts the following alert: An intervention with this description already exists for this person, this goal, and this objective. Please select that intervention in the IAP or IAP Review to update status or other aspects of the intervention as desired. This intervention will not be added, as it is already present.
