Morphology
The meaning 'a detailed outline of medical interventions' is directly and compositionally derived from 'treatment' (medical care) combined with 'plan' (ordered steps or actions). This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common noun + noun compound used in medical contexts, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The compound treatment plan comes from the simple image of a doctor making a clear map of care: treatment means the ways to help a patient, and plan means the list of steps to follow. So a treatment plan is a written list of treatments and steps the medical team will use to try to reach the goal of 'getting better'.
