11.22.2023 CM 04 For CM 04, what does it mean that the care plan must show patient involvement in its creation?

The document should not simply be a hardcoded paper that auto-populates structured fields from the EHR into the document. It should contain language showing that the patient provided input and understands the plan. NCQA is not prescriptive on specific verbiage that must be in the care plan. 

The intent of CM 04 is to give the patient ownership and the power to improve their health outcomes. Engaging the patient in the development of their care plan can result in greater success and adherence to treatment goals.
