The International Academy of Life Care Planners continues to be the leading organization promoting the transdisciplinary practice of life care planning. That means that it is, and has been, the position of this community that life care planning is a practice open to all those who demonstrate the appropriate qualifications, experience, and skill to author life care plans. There has been some recent concern among some life care planners about who is most qualified to author life care plans. This paper is a reminder to the community, from the community, that the best life care plans depend on input from a variety of professionals. The life care planner analyzes information from multiple sources to create a consistent, comprehensive document using in-depth knowledge, experience, and clinical skills. It reflects the collaborative coordination of several professionals. There is no single profession that can claim to be the most qualified to do this.
