A service plan can be associated with one or more integrated case types and can have one or more goals associated with it. This entity is focused on the administration of service plan types within the Service Planning Administration component.

Example

A case worker creates an Assistance integrated case for participant Linda Smith who has recently become unemployed. He creates a Return to Work service plan for her so that she can achieve her goal of Sustainable Employment. A Transportation sub-goal is added to the service plan as she is unable to pay for transport to get to work. A Childcare Provision plan item is added to the service plan to achieve the service plan sub-goal.

Linda also requires assistance paying for dependent childcare and as such a Childcare sub-goal is added to the service plan. Plan item Childcare Provision is added to the Childcare sub-goal.

The following has been set up in the Administration component to achieve to this:

• An administrator creates a Return to Work service plan.
• This service plan is linked to an Assistance integrated case.
• A Sustainable Employment goal is then added.
• Transportation and Childcare sub-goals are linked to the goal, and Mileage Reimbursement and Childcare Provision plan items are linked to the Transportation and Childcare sub-goals respectively.
