Our Approach

Each year, we work on thousands of projects and handle millions of pages of clinical and legal documents. This experience has helped us standardize our approach to medical record review, simplifying the entire process. Getting started is as straightforward as a phone call.

Unique litigation or regulatory challenges may require a bit more communication to ensure we clarify requirements, identify specific challenges, and understand your desired outcomes. Once we decide together on a course of action and agree on scope through a statement of work, a dedicated liaison manages the project to ensure all deliverables are completed on time and within budget.

Our firm regularly uses the Excelas Care Calendar which is an excellent tool to present medical care and staff interactions.  The Care Calendar’s functionality allows easy access to the documentation and provides attorneys and witnesses a very accessible tool to present testimony.  The ability to access an exact page so quickly, especially during live testimony, is a great feature of the calendar.  Moreover, the calendar function itself tells the story of the number of interactions and “touches” in a clear and relatable format.  It is an excellent product we will continue to utilize.
