A Plan of Safe Care is a document jointly created by a pregnant or parenting person, their family, and care providers to assist with care coordination for substance-affected newborns or pregnant people using substances. Los Angeles County healthcare providers should help initiate a Plan of Safe Care when indicated, and work collaboratively with the family to develop the plan. LA County has developed this draft Plan of Safe Care Template for healthcare providers to use if desired to initiate the Plan of Safe Care process in healthcare/hospital settings.
