📋 Longitudinal Care Plan Implementation Plan

🎯 Objective

Transform the Care Plan from an encounter-focused system to a comprehensive longitudinal patient health record that provides a complete view of patient's medical journey over time.

📊 Todo List - 20 Tasks

Phase 1: Core Infrastructure (Tasks 1-8)

  1. ✅ Create LongitudinalHealthRecord.tsx page component at /cms/src/pages/care-plan/
  2. ✅ Add route for /careplan/patient/:patientId in Care Plan routing
  3. ✅ Create PatientSummaryDashboard component showing key metrics and recent activity
  4. ✅ Build VitalsTrendChart component with Recharts for BP, weight, heart rate trends
  5. ✅ Implement ProblemListManager component for persistent problem tracking
  6. ✅ Create MedicationTimeline component showing medication history
  7. ✅ Build EncounterHistory component listing all patient encounters
  8. ✅ Create data aggregation service to combine data from multiple encounters

Phase 2: Navigation & Integration (Tasks 9-11)

  1. ✅ Update Patient Detail 'View Care Plan' button to navigate to longitudinal view
  2. ✅ Add navigation from Care Plan back to Patient Detail
  3. ✅ Create useLongitudinalData hook for fetching aggregated patient data

Phase 3: Enhanced Features (Tasks 12-18)

  1. ✅ Implement date range selector for trending charts (1mo, 3mo, 1yr, all)
  2. ✅ Add abnormal value flagging in vital signs trends
  3. ✅ Create problem severity classification (low, medium, high, critical)
  4. ⏳ Link problems to medications and treatments in the UI
  5. ⏳ Build lab results summary with flagged abnormalities
  6. ⏳ Add upcoming appointments and overdue tasks section
  7. ⏳ Implement export functionality for charts and timelines

Phase 4: Polish & Documentation (Tasks 19-20)

  1. ✅ Create TypeScript interfaces for longitudinal data structures
  2. ⏳ Update documentation with new longitudinal care plan features
