As far as I know any regulation would be state specific. It is a common standard of
care that the care plan is started upon admission with the first assessment. In
Washington state we need to have a working care plan in the record by day 7. On day
one the surveyors seem to expect a pretty good problem list and the beginning of
interventions.
