description: The US Core CarePlan Profile inherits from the FHIR [CarePlan](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/careplan.html) resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This profile sets minimum expectations for the CarePlan resource to record,  search, and fetch assessment and plan of treatment data associated with a patient. It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present and constrains how the elements are used. Providing the floor for standards development for specific use cases promotes interoperability and adoption.
