athenaClinicals

Objectives are the achievable steps a patient can take to meet an overarching goal. Access the Objectives section of a behavioral health treatment plan to record these steps.

Example of an objective:

If a patient has “Improve sleep hygiene by establishing routine and schedule” as a goal, “Set reminder to go to bed by 11:00 PM” could be an achievable objective.

See Add objectives to start defining the steps patients can take to meet their goals.
