The service plan contains 6 sections for the documentation of goals and plans.
Every section is identical so the instructions apply to each.
If a client has more than 6 needs the Service Plan Addendum may be used for the documentation of the plan for the additional needs. Document each need from the needs assessment in this section. Document a goal for each need in these sections. Goals should state the desired final outcome and should be measurable so both the client and the case manager can clearly determine when the need has been met. Each line in the Plan section should designate actions which will be conducted in order to reach the goal.
