Planning is also called what?

• A. Treatment plan
• B. Intervention plan
• C. Assessment plan
• D. Discharge plan

Answer: (A)

In occupational therapy, planning becomes the treatment plan, a road map for therapy. This plan takes what we learned in assessment and turns it into concrete goals and the specific interventions, along with how often and for how long they’ll be done, that will help the client improve or regain function. It also includes criteria for progress and discharge, so everyone knows when therapy should begin, adapt, or end. While terms like assessment plan or discharge plan refer to parts of the process (how we will evaluate progress, or what happens at the end of therapy), the term most representative of the overall strategy and path of care is the treatment plan. An intervention plan exists as part of that broader treatment plan, but the standard label used in practice and exams is the treatment plan.
