— FORENSIC EHR ANALYSIS
The chart shows what was documented.
The audit trail can show how it got there.
EHR audit trails provide a different view of the medical record. They can reveal when documentation was created, modified, accessed, or entered after the fact, helping counsel distinguish the clinical timeline from the documentation timeline.
DedicatedLNC analyzes audit trails alongside the medical record to identify patterns, discrepancies, and areas that warrant further investigation or discovery.
I. DOCUMENTATION TIMING
When entries were created, modified, signed, or entered after the documented event.
II. USER ACTIVITY
Who accessed the record, what actions occurred, and when those actions took place.
III. RECORD INTEGRITY
Patterns, discrepancies, and documentation activity that may warrant further investigation or discovery.
— CLINICAL RECORD ANALYSIS
The record is more than a chronology.
A chronology organizes what happened. Clinical analysis explains why it matters. The record is reviewed for deviations from the standard of care, causation issues, inconsistencies, gaps in documentation, and the clinical facts that support or challenge the allegations.
— EXPERT WITNESS SUPPORT
The right expert for the right clinical question.
Expert selection begins with understanding the clinical issues in dispute. Specialty alone is not enough. The expert's qualifications, clinical experience, and familiarity with the relevant patient population must align with the specific allegations.
DedicatedLNC assists counsel with identifying and evaluating qualified experts, reviewing credentials and clinical backgrounds, and coordinating expert involvement as the case develops.
