Review Medical Records

Searching for the medical and nursing issues relevant to a case, we review medical records to help determine whether professional negligence occurs, to summarize injuries and treatment and to identify any missing or tampered records. Medical records also offer a legal nurse consultant insight into the standard of health care, provided to a client. We can define applicable standards of care and any deviations from them, provide a table of appropriate standards of care for each discipline, involved in our case. We integrate authoritative medical & nursing literature along with the specific standards & guidelines.

Research

• Conduct research and select the best source of information, related to the case
• Locate specific literature (article, journal title, book, etc.) throughout available health/medical database
• Obtain actual or established information
• Summarize medical literature so it’s easily understandable
• Educate attorney regarding medical facts, relevant to the case
• Locate standard of care, related to the case
• Complete professional report with literature citations and references

Investigate Cases

We provide professional services such as:

• Research compensation, disability and other claims to determine whether they have merit
• Examine cases, involving fraud and abuse of government funded agencies, including Medicare and Medicaid
• Conduct inquiries into potential misconduct on the part of a health care practitioner or facility
• Prepare for Trials

For cases that go to trial, we prepare medical facts reports and summaries, chronologies of medical events, graphic exhibits and other evidence. We also draft questions for attorneys to use during medical depositions, interview of parties involved in a case and preparation of witnesses for testimony at trial.
