Life care planning is a method of assessing future care needs and associated costs for the lifetime of individuals who have experienced catastrophic injury or have chronic health care needs. The culmination of the life care planning process is a document known as the Life Care Plan. Social workers, especially medical social workers, because of their education and health-related experience are excellent candidates for becoming Life Care Planners upon meeting certification requirements. This article describes life care planning and how social workers can enter this field.
