Limitations, Dependencies, and Preconditions for Consideration	Applicable Value Set(s) and Starter Set(s)
The care plan as expressed in the C-CDA standard does not attempt to represent the longitudinal care plan; rather it represents a “snapshot” of a care plan at a single point in time for transmission to other providers and teams to ensure continuity of care. The Care Plan Domain Analysis Model is used as a reference model for C-CDA care plan documents in the context of the longitudinal care plan. FHIR Resources are in various stages of maturity. Please refer to the FHIR website for updates on specific profiles and their progress. The FHIR Maturity Model and each of the levels is described on the HL7 wiki. See CDA and FHIR projects in the Interoperability Proving Ground.	Feedback requested
