Generate 30-day patient care plan
AI creates complete 30-day care plan with patient goals, nursing diagnoses, interventions, and structured daily monitoring framework.
Generate 30-day patient care plan
River's 30-Day Patient Care Plan Generator creates comprehensive care plans for patients receiving home health services, skilled nursing, or post-discharge care. You provide patient information (diagnoses, goals, needs), and the AI generates complete 30-day care plan including patient assessment, nursing diagnoses, measurable goals with timeframes, planned interventions and frequency, medication management, safety considerations, patient education needs, and daily monitoring framework. The care plan is organized, detailed, and meets regulatory requirements. Perfect for home health nurses, case managers, care coordinators, skilled nursing facility nurses, or any clinician developing patient care plans.
Unlike basic or incomplete care plans, this tool creates thorough, individualized plans that guide systematic patient care over time. Complete care plans ensure all team members understand patient goals and interventions, support continuity across providers and settings, meet regulatory requirements for home health and skilled nursing certification, and demonstrate patient-centered planning. The AI structures care plans with measurable goals, evidence-based interventions, and clear monitoring parameters. When care plans are complete and well-organized, they improve patient outcomes and care quality.
This tool is perfect for home health nurses creating initial care plans, case managers coordinating post-hospital care, skilled nursing facility nurses developing care plans, care coordinators managing complex patients, or any clinician needing comprehensive 30-day care planning. If your care plans lack detail or organization, this creates professional, thorough plans instantly. Use it for any patient requiring structured care planning over weeks to months.
Elements of Effective Care Plans
Effective care plans follow nursing process: assessment (patient's current status, problems, needs), diagnosis (nursing diagnoses or problems identified), planning (measurable goals with timeframes), implementation (specific interventions and frequency), and evaluation (how progress will be monitored). Goals should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Instead of 'improve mobility,' write 'patient will ambulate 50 feet with walker independently by day 30.' Measurable goals allow you to objectively assess progress. Include short-term goals (achievable in days to weeks) and long-term goals (achievable by end of care period).
Interventions should be specific, evidence-based, and include frequency. Instead of 'wound care,' write 'RN will perform sterile dressing change to sacral pressure ulcer using calcium alginate and foam dressing, 3 times per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), assess wound healing, measure wound dimensions, document appearance.' Specific interventions ensure consistency across providers. Include all necessary elements: skilled nursing interventions, therapy services if applicable, medication management and education, safety interventions (fall prevention, equipment needs), patient and caregiver education, and coordination with physicians and other providers.
Care plans must be individualized to patient. Use patient assessment to identify specific needs, incorporate patient and family goals, consider patient's home environment and support system, address cultural and language needs, and identify barriers to care (transportation, financial, health literacy). Update care plan regularly as patient's condition changes. Document progress toward goals at each visit. Revise goals and interventions when indicated. Care plan is living document that guides care throughout episode. Good care planning improves outcomes, prevents complications, and ensures systematic, patient-centered care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes goals measurable?
Measurable goals include observable criteria for success. Instead of 'improve pain management,' write 'patient will report pain level 3 or less on 0-10 scale at rest by day 14.' Include what will be measured (pain score), target (3 or less), and timeframe (day 14). Use concrete terms: distances (feet, meters), frequencies (times per day), percentages (oxygen saturation >92%), scales (pain 0-10, function scores), or yes/no criteria (independent in task). Measurable goals let you objectively determine if interventions are working.
How often should I update the care plan?
Update care plan whenever patient's condition changes significantly (improvement, decline, new problems), when goals are met and new goals needed, when interventions aren't working and changes required, and at regular intervals per your facility policy (often every 30 days for ongoing care). For home health, recertification every 60 days requires care plan update. Document changes and rationale. Care plan should always reflect current patient status and care approach. Outdated care plans don't guide care effectively.
Should care plan include all diagnoses or focus on active problems?
Focus on problems requiring intervention during this care episode. Patient may have 10 chronic diagnoses, but if you're providing post-surgical wound care, care plan focuses on wound healing, pain management, infection prevention, and functional recovery related to surgery. Acknowledge other diagnoses if they affect your care (diabetes affects wound healing), but don't need detailed goals and interventions for every problem. Keep care plan focused on what you're actively addressing. This makes it useful working document rather than exhaustive but unwieldy list.
How do I involve patient and family in care planning?
Ask patient and family about their goals ('What's most important to you?' 'What would you like to work on?'). Incorporate their priorities into care plan goals. Educate them about expected outcomes and timeframes. Assign patient/family tasks when appropriate ('Patient will demonstrate correct insulin injection technique by day 7'). Review care plan with them, ensure they understand goals and their role. Document their input and agreement. Patient engagement in care planning improves adherence and outcomes. Care planning is collaborative process, not something done to patient.
