  • 2003 – $25 billion
  • Present – exceeds $40 billion

Pain:

  • 25% of all sick days = $50 million
  • 80% of all physician visits

Definition of A Life Care Plan:

A life care plan is a dynamic document based upon published standards of practice, comprehensive assessment, data analysis and research which provides an organized concise plan for current and future needs with associated costs, for individuals who have experienced catastrophic injury or have chronic care needs

Goals

  • Provide health education to the interested parties, when appropriate.
  • Develop accurate and timely costs information

Functions

Collect data that is systematic, comprehensive, and accurate

Research

  • Use reliable sources
  • Sources that are readily available to the client

Considers 

  • Duration of care
  • Replacement frequency
  • Appropriate use by client

MSA Analyis and Life Care Plan are two very different things

 Life Care Plan needs to be collaborative

Goal is the patient
