Initial Plan of Care Components

Initial Plan of Care Components include:

͞Achieǀable, measurable, time-related long and short term goals and objectives that are related to the functioning of the recipient and are based on the primary care proǀider's, ARNP'sΎ or PA designee's, or designated physician specialist's prescription"

Goal Writing

eQHealth Customer Service has relayed a frequently asked question they receive from therapists:

How do I write achievable, measurable, time-

related long and short term goals and objectives? 4

A Measurable Goal is:

Quantifiable

Assessable

Computable

Clear

Calculable

Determinate

Finite

Verifiable

Considerations in Developing a

Measurable Goal

# of Repetitions ( 10 reps x 3 sets)

Timed Tests

(supine to stand in 45 secs.) # Trials (2/5,3/5,2/3)

Make sure to add how

much assistance is provided.

Frequently, the

combination of several measurable goals will best address the aimed objective. 6

Be sure that you have identified a deficit or

functional limitation in your evaluation and/or plan of care (POC). 7

National Professional Guidelines

Examples for goal writing are provided based on national professional guidelines for documentation, for each specific profession.

Criteria/measurement

4.Under what conditions?- Context/setting

5.From Where?-Starting point

Writing SMART Goals

1.Who: The patient

2.Perform: will increase the use of expressive vocabulary

3.From where: from 0 words-25 words

4.Under what conditions: with familiar listeners in familiar

settings

5.How well: to communicate a variety of pragmatic functions

with minimal prompts

6.How often: 80% of opportunities in 4/5 consecutive

sessions 16

Examples of Language Goals

Long Term Goal (within 6 months):

The patient will increase the use of expressive vocabulary from 0-25 words with familiar listeners in familiar settings, to communicate a variety of pragmatic functions with minimal prompts 80% of opportunities in 4/5 consecutive sessions.

Short Term Goals:

With multisensory cueing, the patient will imitate 5 signs/gestures/or word approximations to request, protest, or greet familiar listeners in structured therapy settings 80% of opportunities in 4/5 consecutive sessions. With fading prompts, the patient will use 10 signs/gestures/or word approximations to request, protest, greet, and answer yes/no questions during structured therapy sessions 80% of opportunities in 4/5 consecutive sessions. 17

Examples of Speech Goals

Long Term Goal:

The patient will increase speech intelligibility of 3-4 word phrases from less than 50% in known contexts with known listeners to 80% in unfamiliar contexts with unfamiliar listeners.

Short Term Goals:

With multisensory cueing, the patient will identify minimal pairs targeting initial consonant deletion, final consonant deletion, and fronting from field of 2 with 80% accuracy in

4/5 consecutive sessions.

With fading prompts, the patient will produce targeted initial consonants (i.e., /m/, /n/, /h/, and /w/) in words with 75% accuracy in 4/5 consecutive sessions. 18

Long Term Goal:

The patient will advance from following a 1 step verbal direction to a 3 step verbal direction, independently, 100% of trials, to improve sequencing and memory recall skills used in functional daily routines.

Short Term Goals:

Therapy Goals

Examples of Physical Therapy Goals

Limitations Handbook

The review of the Plan of Care must include:

progress report eǀaluating recipient's accomplishments toward a stated goal description of recipient's attitudes and behaǀiors toward therapy assessment of effectiveness of service provided assessment of recipient's rehabilitation potential, and modifications to the plan of care One of the top reasons why continued stay requests are pended by reviewers is that the POC of the continued stay request does not include the information noted above.
