Case Study: Future Care Cost Analysis for a Post-Splenectomy Patient

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: Individuals with splenectomy may be at risk for long-term healthcare costs. This case study describes one situation in which a life care planner was asked to complete a “future care cost analysis,” for an individual with splenectomy due to trauma. The individual’s current status was compared with research to identify future risks and needs. Findings, based upon application of life care planning principles, demonstrate certain needs, with risks diminished by patient education and prompt medical attention
