Family Case Treatment Plan design considerations

What distinguishes a family case treatment plan from a treatment plan for an individual is that the family case treatment plan covers the family as a whole plus individual family members.

To design a family case treatment plan you need to identify:

• Treatment plan components that apply to the family as a whole, such as area of treatment, goals, and methods. 
• Treatment plan components that apply to each family member, such as goals and interventions
• A 'problem addressed' that is associated with the family as a whole and not to individual family members.
• The program that will use the treatment plan

Points to note about creating family case treatment plans in myEvolv NX:

• The treatment plan can be modified.
• The treatment plan includes an end-date option.
• There is an option to add a subreport to the treatment plan.
• There is a submission and approval process (unlike individual treatment plans, there is no need for a third-level signature for approval).
• For treatment plan components you can incorporate forms for family cases and forms for individuals. You also have the option to create your own forms in Forms Designer.  
• Netsmart provides the following family case treatment plan forms to use as templates for creating your agency's family case treatment plans:
  • Family Case Area of Treatment
  • Family Case Goal
  • Family Case Methods
• Netsmart provides a Signatures form as a template for a signature page.
