Clinical Review

     As of 2010, Clinical Review is proud to offer the service of Nurse Life Care Planning after having completed the rigorous educational process to achieve that goal! Life Care Planning is an important service which is now available to both insurance providers and attorneys.

     The roles of the Life Care Planner (LCP) are many. A critical aspect of any catastrophic injury lawsuit involves the determination of the injured party’s future medical care. The life care plan is a tool that is written by a trained professional and used to specifically identify all of the future care needs (medical and non-medical) of the injured party. The life care plan addresses the costs and frequency of the needed goods and services over a life time. It will project the needed equipment, replacement schedule and maintenance, as well as other requirements related to the altered health status.

     The steps involved in accomplishing the life care plan are to review the medical records, meet with the member and family, determine a "day in the life" for the individual after the life altering event, tour the home for necessary alterations, collaborate with providers, and research costs projected for a lifetime of needs. Then a life care plan, financial breakdown of needs and assessment of future costs is accomplished.

     Life Care Planner's also review plans completed by others to compare findings and costs, as well as functioning as testifying experts related to the cases they review and prepare. Call us today to discuss your needs!

What is the difference between a generic Life Care Planner and a Nurse Life Care Planner?

     To be a Life Care Planner does not require a nursing or medical related degree. Most certification programs are available without that requirement.

     What are the benefits of using a Nurse Life Care Planner? Both nursing background and medical experience offer a unique ability to identify needs, as well as to collaberate with other professionals working with the client. When those traits are then combined with a specialized training program geared towards the nursing process, nursing diagnoses and the holistic overview that a nurse brings to the evaluation process, it certainly makes a nurse life care planner stand head and shoulders above the rest.

     Don't settle for less than a Nurse Life Care Planner!
