| We’re ready to help you with any or every step in the process of converting mounds of medical information into meaningful data that you can use to support your claims, settlement, or litigation strategies. We can begin by helping you to acquire, organize, scan and index records based upon clinical documentation standards. We then certify that the records are complete, and if not, will notify you early in the review process.
We can create customized reports if you’re looking for a very specific kind of information, or provide a high-level, objective case analysis and summary. Perhaps a detailed medical chronology will best help you to evaluate the events as they happened. We customize work products to meet the specific requirements of each case.
Here are some examples of how our clients have selected specific
services.
1) A law firm working with a Long Term Care organization was faced with multiple, concurrent lawsuits. The firm needed to quickly gather information on each case to determine the risks faced by the facility. Excelas was engaged and began the project by providing a narrative case summary which gave the legal team the information to quickly assess their risk, and then create strategies for the cases. A detailed medical chronology was provided to finalize the case and prepare for denial or settlement of each claim.
2) A law firm faced with processing complex medical records in a malpractice case involving an experimental procedure hired Excelas to research background information on the surgery and sort through medical records to create a detailed medical chronology of events. A case summary was prepared to provide an overview of the complex surgery and subsequent events.
3) An insurance company, advised of a request for medical records from one of their insured nursing homes, anticipated a potential lawsuit. Excelas was hired to certify that the records received from the facility were complete. Excelas organized all documents and provided a case summary citing issues found in the records and identifying caregivers who might be interviewed. In-house counsel used the summary to evaluate the merits of the case and develop their settlement strategy.
4) A law firm with a small staff of in-house nurses wanted to increase their involvement in case strategy development, interviews and depositions, and trial preparation. The firm hired Excelas to organize its medical records and provide preliminary medical chronologies, thus allowing their nursing staff to work with attorneys on in-depth analyses.
