Graduating from the 120 LCP class doesn't mean you're automatically an experienced expert witness. That is something you have to build up over time. However, that doesn't mean you can't take advantage of the advice and knowledge from Life Care Planners who have gone through the process before.

This week's Wisdom Wednesday focuses on Deposition Do's.
Here are FIG's top seven:

1. Have prep time with the attorney beforehand.
2. Arrive early to the deposition.
3. Wear comfortable but professional clothes.
4. Bring drinks & snacks to keep your spirits and blood sugar up.
5. Set the pace yourself.
6. Ask for breaks when you need them.
7. Agree/disagree/ask for clarification when needed.

There are others, of course, but these are FIG's top seven.

The International Association of Life Care Planners, in addressing the scope and practice of Life Care Planners states “Life Care Planning is an advanced practice which is collaborative in nature and includes the patient, family, care providers and all parties concerned in coordinating, accessing, evaluating and monitoring necessary services.”

The American Association of Nurse Life Care Planners, in their Standards and Scope of Practice state during the Life Care Planning process, the Nurse Life Care Planner “collaborates with healthcare providers when possible and applicable for current and probable future healthcare treatment plans.”
