Frisco Care Plan Setup: A User Guide

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up Personalized Care Plans and Personalized Behavior Care Plans in Frisco. These plans are crucial for designing a structured and tailored approach to client care, allowing you to define goals, outline objectives and actions, and track progress effectively.

Before You Begin:

Ensure that the client's Authorization has been successfully created in Frisco.

Navigating to Care Plan Creation

Frisco provides two main pathways to create care plans:

1. To create a new Care Plan Template (for general use across clients):
   • From the Dashboard section, look on the left-hand side menu.
   • Find and click on Templates.
   • Under Templates, choose Plan.

• Here, you can select whether you are adding a Personalized Care Plan or a Personalized Behavior Care Plan.

2. To create a specific Care Plan for an existing client:
   • Go to the Clients section (usually found on the main navigation or dashboard).
   • Select the specific client whose profile you wish to access.
   • Choose Plan. From here, you can initiate a new plan tailored to that client.

Once you have navigated to the appropriate section, you will be presented with a form to fill out the plan details.
