If your organization offers behavioral health services, you can add a behavioral health treatment plan, a care plan, or both plan types to a patient's chart.

Note: Patients can only have one treatment plan and one care plan active at a time. To start a new plan for a patient, archive or delete the current plan. See Remove a plan for details.
