Just a little about transplantations
As life care planners we are called upon to understand both disease progression and treatment options to identify future life care cost. for individuals with life-threatening organ failure, that includes organ transplant, with unique cost considerations. When the client's medical condition is declining beyond the reach of medication or surgical intervention, a life care plan must include cost associated with current medical care, services, keeping the individual alive, and transplant evaluation. The plan must also project when organ transplant and transplant cost will begin.
Learn more about transplantation, and the appropriate costing by checking out the AANLCP 2015 Journal.

AANLCP 2016 Conference Chair
Hello from AANLCP
Hello!
I am a new Board member, a new Nurse Life Care Planner AND I
am excited to be a part of the AANLCP organization. Take a few moments to go through the updated website; you will be amazed at the resources that are available at your
fingertips.
Want to grow your professional network and can’t wait until
our conference in February 2016? Please
join a work group! Are you an educator?
Or just curious about a topic and want to help the group learn more? Are you
new and want to learn how to weave your nursing expertise into your new
specialty of life care planning? Are you in an advanced education/practice
course and want to share your research papers/projects with others? Are you a “collector” of vendors, contact
names and products that just might be useful someday? We need you to join the conversation by
participating in a committee!
