Life Care Planning - a Practical Illustration

摘要

Life care planning is a method of estimating future care costs for patients with catastrophic disabilities. The life care planner determines an annual budget for care, including further medical and rehabilitative interventions, durable medical goods, disposable medical goods and supplies, and recreational equipment. After determining an annual budget, the life care planner must use scientifically sound methods of determining the patient's life expectancy in order to create a lifetime budget.
