The Collaborative Outcome Plan is a type of SEF used to allow non-agency multidisciplinary team members collaborate with agency workers in the delivery of services to the clients of an outcome plan. A collaborative outcome plan is automatically created by the system in response to the creation of a new outcome plan where sharing has been enabled for that particular type of outcome plan. A collaborative outcome plan may not be created manually and may be accessed solely by non-agency multidisciplinary team members via the MDT Portal. It represents the non-agency multidisciplinary team members view of an outcome plan. Agency workers use the actual outcome plan and do not use the collaborative outcome plan. Only a subset of the information available in the outcome plan is available in the collaborative outcome plan. The information available in the collaborative outcome plan depends upon several factors, however most important among these factors is sharing. Sharing can be configured for outcome plan notes, attachments and activities (the services, actions and referrals delivered by the outcome plan). A non-agency multidisciplinary team member can only view these items if an agency worker has specifically indicated that the item can be shared with the non-agency multidisciplinary team member.
The remainder of this chapter outlines the functionality and features of a collaborative outcome plan.
