A 'Life Care Plan' is the work product that lays out a plan of strategic care for an individual with chronic or debilitating conditions. It is developed through comprehensive patient assessment, research, data analysis, medical record review and collaborating with the healthcare provider teams. Life Care Plans are used in matters of litigation related to injury and medical malpractice by plaintiff and defense, and are used in private family affairs to develop and sustain financial provisions to cover the costs of lifetime medical care.
