Personal Goals define a desired state to be achieved by a person or a person’s elections to guide care. 

A Treatment Intervention Preference is a care or treatment activity that the person stating the preference sees as an option that would be considered--or not--for attaining stated goals. A Care experience preference is an aspect of care which the person stating the preference has a choice about, such as, preferred pharmacy; or other choices which inform providers as they create care plans or deliver care for the patient.

Note: Data elements “Patient Goals” and “SDOH Goals” should be expressed in the singular.

A Patient Goal can be the patient’s goal, or a practitioner’s goal for the patient, or a “shared goal” which is held as a goal by both the patient and the patient’s provider. The definition of the “Patient Goal” data element needs to clarify that it supports the notion of being a “shared goal”, not just held solely by the patient or by the practitioner but held as the goal by both parties.
