Life Care Planning Consensus and Majority Statements, 2000 2018: Are They Still Relevant and Reliable? A Delphi Study

Beginning in 2000, life care planning Summits have been held at various locations around the country and have reflected collaboration between the diverse associations involved in life care planning (Johnson, 2012; Johnson and Gamez, 2015; Johnson and Gamez, 2017). Summits have been an integral part of the development and evolution of the specialty practice of life care planning. Over time, Summit results have been published, relied upon and utilized by practitioners in their daily work, as a reflection of best practices. The published Consensus and Majority Statements serve as reinforcement for the methodology and work of the life care planner. Importantly, Summits and their outcomes are developed by life care planners for life care planners about life care planning.
