According to the agreed-upon definition, “The 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 health care needs.” (International Conference on Life Care Planning and the International Academy of Life Care Planners. Adopted 1998, April.) It is a way to plan for the lifetime needs of an individual with a disability. Life care plans are used in workers’ compensation claims, civil litigation, mediation, reserve setting for insurance companies, federal vaccine injury fund cases, discharge planning, Medicare set-asides, elder care, and other arenas. Life care planning is an established field with national certifications, professional organizations, research, role and function studies and published standards of practice https://connect.rehabpro.org/lcp/about/new-item/new-item5.

The International Association of Rehabilitation Professionals was formerly known as the National Association of Rehabilitation Professionals in the Private Sector (NARPPS).

The International Association of Rehabilitation Professionals (IARP) is a professional membership group for individuals in the field of rehabilitation, with a current membership of approximately 1900 professionals from various, rehabilitation-related disciplines. The organization has four specialty practice sections- Rehabilitation and Disability Case Management, Forensic Rehabilitation, Social Security Vocational Expert and Life Care Planning.
