2026 US Quality Core Implementation Guide
0.5.0 - cibuild US

2026 US Quality Core Implementation Guide, published by Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 0.5.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/FHIR/us-quality-core/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

## Resource Profile: US Quality Core CarePlan

Official URL: http://fhir.org/guides/onc/us-quality-core/StructureDefinition/us-quality-core-careplan | Version: 0.5.0
Active as of 2026-05-15 | Computable Name: USQualityCoreCarePlan

The US Quality Core CarePlan is based upon the US Core CarePlan Profile which is based upon the core FHIR CarePlan Resource and created to meet the 2015 Edition Common Clinical Data Set 'Assessment and Plan of Treatment requirements. Defines constraints and extensions on the CarePlan resource for the minimal set of data to query and retrieve a patient's Care Plan.

Usage

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.

### Examples

Assessment and care plan for a pregnancy

USCDI+ Quality Elements:

- text: (USCDI+ Quality) (USCDI) Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation

Usages:

- Refer to this Profile: US Quality Core DiagnosticReport Profile for Laboratory Results Reporting, US Quality Core ImagingStudy, US Quality Core Procedure and US Quality Core Procedure Not Done
- Examples for this Profile: CarePlan/example
- CapabilityStatements using this Profile: US Quality Core Client CapabilityStatement and US Quality Core Server CapabilityStatement

You can also check for usages in the FHIR IG Statistics
