CarePlan & CarePlan+ — Building Accurate, Repeatable Treatment & Estimate Flows
CarePlan is the treatment, estimate, and wellness planning system inside ClinicOS.
It turns clinical decisions into clear, client-ready plans — fast, consistent, and safety-checked.
With CarePlan+, clinics can create custom estimate flows that guide CarePlan using structured logic, triggers, keywords, and verification steps.
These flows help providers build surgical plans, wellness packages, and multi-step treatments with less rework and fewer omissions.
What CarePlan Does
CarePlan brings together data from the visit, treatments, and safety systems to generate draft plans that the provider reviews and finalizes.
It supports:
Automatic Drafting
If ChronicleAI captured a treatment conversation during the exam, CarePlan can pull those details into a draft plan for review.
Smart Prepopulation
Based on the documented plan, CarePlan suggests:
services
medications
procedures
diagnostics
These are recommendations, not final selections. Providers must review all items for clinical appropriateness.
Safety Checks
Every medication and treatment is routed through RXGuard so:
dosing
interactions
contraindications
DEA logging steps
are surfaced before the estimate is shown to the client.
Estimate Output
The final plan can be turned into an estimate that:
is editable
follows clinic pricing
can be printed or shared digitally
Estimates flow into Payments only after provider approval.
What CarePlan+ Adds
CarePlan+ lets clinics design custom “estimate flows” — structured templates that teach CarePlan how to recommend, organize, and verify items for specific procedures.
These flows allow clinics to standardize:
Surgical plans (e.g., spay/neuter, dentals, mass removals)
Wellness packages
Recurring treatment bundles
Condition-specific care sequences
How CarePlan+ Works
Each flow can include:
1. Triggers
Keywords or clinical phrases that signal the correct plan to load.
Example:
“Dental,” “COHAT,” “cleaning” → Dental Flow triggers.
2. Required Items
Items that must be reviewed before approval:
anesthetic protocol
pre-op bloodwork
pain control
post-op medications
3. Conditional Items
Items that appear only when the condition applies:
IV catheter for senior pets
repeat radiographs
hospitalization tiers
4. Verification Steps
Checks to ensure no critical components are missing.
5. Cost Structure
Flows calculate estimate totals using the clinic’s fee schedule and service bundles — not AI-calculated prices.
CarePlan+ does not set prices.
It applies the clinic’s existing pricing based on the structure you define.
What You Can Do in CarePlan

Why CarePlan Matters
Saves Time
No more rebuilding surgical plans from scratch.
Flows eliminate repetitive clicking and ensure nothing gets forgotten.
Reduces Errors
RXGuard validation and flow-based verification catch issues early.
Improves Client Confidence
Plans look organized, intentional, and consistent across providers.
Supports Compliance
Safety checks and DEA requirements run in the background — with full provider oversight.
Example in Action
A provider discusses a dental cleaning during an exam. ChronicleAI captures:
“We’ll recommend pre-op bloodwork, anesthesia, dental cleaning, extractions if necessary, and post-op analgesia.”
Here’s what happens:
CarePlan drafts a dental estimate.
CarePlan+ applies the “Dental Flow,” adding required services in the correct order.
Conditional items (like IV catheter or senior screening) appear based on the patient’s profile.
RXGuard validates medications and doses.
The provider reviews and adjusts.
The finalized estimate is ready in minutes.
Important Notes
CarePlan+ is optional but strongly recommended for clinics wanting consistent surgical and wellness plans.
All flows require provider review.
CarePlan and CarePlan+ do not replace clinical judgment or dosing verification.RXGuard alerts support — they do not override — provider responsibility.
Pricing is determined by your clinic’s fee schedule, not AI.
Providers remain fully responsible for the accuracy of all estimates and medical decisions.
