Diagnosis

Following the assessment phase, data is clustered to identify a nursing diagnosis appropriate for planning.

Outcomes, Identification & Planning

Through collaboration with members of the healthcare team, our nurses identify outcomes to optimize the restoration of the injured or chronically ill individual and produce a care plan to meet treatment goals.

Implementation

Implementation of a life care plan is a fluid process as the life care planning process is dynamic in nature. The life care plan is reassessed and updated as necessary to ensure it continues to accurately fulfill the needs of an injured or chronically ill individual.

Evaluation

Injured and chronically ill individuals will not only go through a nursing evaluation during the production of a life care plan, but they may be routinely re-evaluated throughout their lifetime. This allows the life care plan to be updated as an individual’s condition or circumstances change with time.

Some individuals require a Nurse Case Manager for assistance of implementation of a life care plan throughout the lifespan. The need for Nurse Case Manager is assessed on a case by case basis.
