Module 1: Introduction to Life Care Planning - $1,495
Course 1: (Online) Professional Orientation to Life Care Planning
This course provides an overview of the life care planning process from initial patient referral to completion of the full report and life care plan with all the appropriate foundation and support. The course takes students through the steps of data development, analysis of medical and health-related professional records, research and review of clinical practice guidelines and relevant research literature and linking this information to recommendations in the plan.
Course 2: (Online) Medical and Psychological Aspects of
Life Care Planning with Spinal Courd Injury: Adult and Pediatric
This course identifies the most up to date resources for remaining current on the medical and psychological consequences of spinal cord injuries. The primary focus is on the long-term consequences of paraplegia and tetraplegia as well as the combined effects of age and disability requiring phase changes in the life care planning process. Information on the care of ventilator-dependent spinal cord patients is included and the differences between providing care plans for the adult versus pediatric patient is outlined.
Course 3: (Online) Medical and Psychological Aspects of
Life Care Planning with Brain Injury: Adult and Pediatric
This course has a focus on the medical and psychological consequences of brain injuries and cerebral vascular accidents (CVA/stroke), including family, community, and vocational variables, with considerations for both Adult and the Pediatric cases. The course will be split between traumatic onset brain injury adult and pediatric and birth onset brain injury such a cerebral palsy. Because the nature of the etiology significantly impacts the nature of the outcome with respect to cognitive, psychological, social, behavioral and motoric deficits, the life care planning needs and recommendations are adjusted in each instance.
On-Site Training: Upon completion of the 3 on-line modules described above participants will attend a two-day workshop where they will receive presentations on the material presented in the three on-line modules as well as any updates on current issues in Life Care Planning.
Module 2: Advanced Aspects of Life Care Planning - $1,495
Course 4: (Online) Medical and Psychological Aspects of Life Care Planning with Amputations: Adult and Pediatric
This course identifies the most up to date resources for remaining current on the medical and psychological consequences of amputation. The primary focus is on the long-term consequences of the various types of amputation and the combined effects of age and disability requiring phase changes in the life care planning process. The impact of multiple amputation and the unique approaches made necessary by infant onset of amputation are also covered. Pediatric versus adult amputation and the differences in prosthetic considerations are also covered.
Course 5: (Online) Medical and Psychological Aspects of Life Care Planning with Multiple Disabilities
This course identifies the basic medical and psychological consequences of multiple disabilities. This information will lay the groundwork necessary to allow the trained professional to develop the foundations necessary for effective life care planning to use either in case management or consultation. The fundamental resources necessary to conduct effective research into data, clinical practice guidelines and relevant literature for each of these disabilities is provided.
Course 6: (Online) Developmental, Forensic, & Vocational Aspects
of Life Care Planning
Students will learn about the legal aspects surrounding life care planning; to include depositions and trial. Students will review a CDROM containing the vocational aspects of life care planning. The vocational assessment (loss of earnings or loss of earning capacity) plays a large role in assessing vocational damages as a separate area to consider. Check lists will also be available in the online course, to prepare them for creating their own life care plan for the class participation/peer review. Students will be given a case example from which they will develop specific areas of the Life Care Plan, which will be reviewed at the onsite training seminar. (This is not to be confused with the Applied Practice Life Care Plan that is to be written and reviewed for CLCP certification).
On-Site Training: Participants will attend a two-day workshop where they will receive presentations from experts in the field and have their life care plans peer reviewed during one day of the class. The class will go over portions of the life care plan and discuss the various options available, the fatal errors made when creating the life care plan and various resources that are available to use. Discussions regarding testimony issues pertaining to this case example will be accomplished. Additionally, the students will learn how to review and critique Life Care Plans generated from the opposing side in a litigated, personal injury case.
