There are many variables that might impact the length of treatment at NBI. And, certainly, symptoms and circumstances can change during treatment. Nonetheless, it is important for us to communicate our best estimates for how long treatment at NBI may continue.

To accomplish this aim, each care plan created by NBI specifies the length of time that it is in effect, e.g., four weeks. As the end date approaches, a time will be scheduled to have a collaborative discussion to re-evaluate needs and consider options for next steps.

The duty of NBI’s clinicians is to make recommendations about the length of treatment based on their professional opinion, but our patients and their families make the final decision.
