Certified Nurse Life Care Planner (CNLCP) is a national certification, not a Hawaii license. How a Hawaii court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the Hawaii venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve Hawaii.
The CNLCP certifies registered nurses in life care planning grounded in the nursing process: assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Nurse life care planners bring hands-on clinical knowledge of medications, supplies, skilled care, and daily care routines to the documentation of future needs, frequencies, and costs.
Hawaii's Circuit Courts hear injury and malpractice claims, and medical malpractice claims are first submitted to a medical inquiry and conciliation panel. Workers' compensation is administered by the Disability Compensation Division, with appeals to the Labor and Industrial Relations Appeals Board.
Outside the civil courts, the Hawaii Disability Compensation Division is the forum where a plan is most often examined in Hawaii. KW Life Care Planning CNLCP-credentialed experts apply nationally recognized standards while accounting for Hawaii's practice environment.
CNLCP-credentialed experts provide testimony in Hawaii's courts, where expert qualification is determined case by case.
