-   **[Care team activities playbook](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=ctwm-cta-work-plan-overview&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

Define a recurring or one-time activities plan once, such as a daily unit safety check or a routine equipment inspection. The system automatically generates care team cases and tasks for every selected team or unit according to a configured schedule.

Unlike the Operational Rounding playbook, the Care team activities playbook works directly at the care team case and task level. It does not create a healthcare orchestration case, making it suited to single-unit, recurring operational work.

-   **[Smart assessments](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=ctwm-smart-assessments&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

Associate a structured, repeatable questionnaire with a care team task to capture standardized evidence, such as room inspections, equipment checks, or readiness surveys. Assessments can also be associated with task plan templates so that every concrete task generated from the template automatically inherits the assessment. Results can be reviewed, compared, and reported on across a unit, an organization, or an entire hospital.

This feature depends on the Smart Assessment for CSM plugin, which is automatically installed with Care Team Work Management.


 -   **[Care Team Operations AI Chat Assistant](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=hco-now-assist-care-team-chat-assistant&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

A dedicated ServiceNow Otto assistant, pre-configured for Care Team Operations, lets care team members report and create operational requests by chat or voice without navigating the general Virtual Agent. The assistant surfaces the Care team operations case intake and case creation AI agents, and the Request care team assistance agentic workflow, as a single conversational entry point.

If Care Team Mobile is installed, the assistant is automatically extended to mobile with its own nav-tab channel.

-   **[Case and task management from Care Team Mobile](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=cto-mobile-manage-cases-tasks&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

Create, assign, and edit care team cases and tasks directly from Care Team Mobile. Care team agents can also complete tasks, including attached smart assessments, through FSM Mobile.

-   **Healthcare Orchestration roles**

Two new roles, `sn_hco_orc.loc_contributor` \(Healthcare Orchestration Location Contributor\) and `sn_hco_orc.loc_manager` \(Healthcare Orchestration Location Manager\), can now be assigned directly as a service organization member's type.

Location-level and hospital-level visibility and management permissions for orchestration functions resolve automatically, without requiring the Care Team Agent Manager role as a workaround.


 -   **[User criteria for Care Team Mobile quick actions](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=cto-mobile-user-criteria&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

Six out-of-the-box user criteria records ship with Care Team Operations so admins can control which Care Team Mobile quick-action icons each care team role sees, instead of building their own user criteria from scratch.
