  • Intervention: Proposed action, intervention or treatment to address client’s issue. Examples include type of therapy provided.

  • Response: Summary of how the client is responding to treatment or any changes the client is experiencing as a result of the treatment.

  • Plan: The plan outlines next steps for the client’s care and addressing the issue such as follow-up appointments or referrals.
