This class represents a collection of Care Plan Episodes, each of which is a set of planned actions and goals for a Patient dealing with a given set of issues or concerns over an extended period of time. This Longitudinal Care Plan covers all Care Plans over the life of the Patient, including those that have been terminated because the underlying condition had been resolved. This construct is useful for patients who have long-term problems such as Downs Syndrome or diabetes, which will manifest in different sets of issues to be managed over the course of the patient’s life. Some organizations, including DoD and the VA view the "Care Plan" as a Longitudinal Care Plan – i.e., they consider the Care Plan to be a long-running collection of Care Plan Episodes, whereas other organizations may consider the "Care Plan" to refer to each episode. Organizations in the latter case could consider this class to have one and only one Care Plan Episode associated with it.
