Who is qualified to be a life care planner?
With its foundation in rehabilitation, life care planning attracts board certified professionals from diverse fields of practice, including rehabilitation counseling, rehabilitation nursing, rehabilitation psychology, physiatry, case management, and other areas. (See CHCC, The Commission on Health Care Certification, for specific qualifications and requirements). Although not required, it is helpful for a life care planner to also be board certified as a case manager or at least have experience in the actual case management and implementation of life care plans.
