The review of medical records can be extremely complex, whether it is for a single patient or thousands of plaintiffs in multi-district litigation. Sometimes, a single case can involve the review of thousands of pages of medical records in order to complete a cogent summary.
Trying to pin down what happened, what might have caused an injury or illness, and the potential long-term effects require clinical experience, skill, expertise, and attention to detail.
At MRN, we’ve been providing legal nurse consulting services, including medical record reviews, for more than 25 years. Read what some of our clients say about our team of legal nurse consultants.
Our ultimate goal, with all of our medical record reviews, is to glean the pertinent facts from the medical record and present them in an easily understandable format. Reviewing medical records is like putting together all of the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle until it forms a clear picture, and we’re experts at doing that!
Medical Record Review Process
Our medical record review process can include:
- record retrieval
- record organization (OCR, bookmarking, manage duplicates, etc.)
- chronology of medical records
- narrative summary of medical records
- identification of missing medical records
