LIFE CARE PLANS
As a Certified Nurse Life Care Planner (CNLCP®) and Life Care Planner-Certified (LCP-C), we work in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of specialists and providers to create a comprehensive life care plan; for evaluees ranging from infancy to seniors and chronic pain to catastrophic injuries. The life care plan (LCP) is a powerful tool providing a comprehensive plan for each individual evaluee. The LCP is a collection and analysis of comprehensive patient-specific data to prepare an evaluee-specific and dynamic document. This document provides an organized, concise plan that establishes the evaluee’s estimated future needs.
We provide a consistent process that flows from life care plan to life care plan providing an evaluation of the evaluee and determination of future needs. We consider the evaluee’s needs, their goals, their family’s goals, and take into consideration the limitations of their geographical location.
At OConnell and Associates, we believe nurses have been prepared to be best suited for Life Care Planning. Life care planning is an extension of medical case management. Nurses are governed by their broad scope of practice as outlined in the Nurse Practice Act. The Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice define the professional responsibilities of all professional registered nurses who are actively practicing as nurses, irrespective of the setting.
