Medical Record Analysis

Med Legal specializes in medical record analysis for all forms of injury litigation. All medical record reviews starts with an abstraction of pertinent information from the records to lay a foundation. Med Legal’s medical record analysis is one of the areas that sets us apart from our competitors. Our medical record analysis goes beyond abstraction and takes the idea of medical record review to the next level. Medical record analysis is the process of looking beyond the critical information found in the records and shedding light on strengths and weaknesses of the case, how opposing counsel will likely use the information, and what the best litigation strategy would be from a medical-legal perspective.

Our seasoned legal nurse consultants take a collaborative approach to medical record analysis, ensuring that all perspectives are considered and communicated. Using the medical records as a roadmap, Med Legal’s team creates a bridge between vital pieces of information to tell the whole story. Analyzing medical records is also about understanding what information is omitted from the records; what part of the story is not being told because of gaps in the records or medical care. Often, all or most of the pieces to the puzzle are right there in the records, but it takes a trained eye with the experience of a medical professional and the litigation perspective to fully understand the implications of the data. Medical record analysis by Med Legal’s nurse consultants is the missing link to bridging the gap between raw data and its interpretation that is critical to good outcomes and what can define success.
