Recent changes in the legal landscape rise in the number of cases and increased complexity have increased challenges for litigation experts. Complexities arising from medical terminologies, handwritten documents make it longer to reach a desired high-quality opinion. The time and efforts required to analyze the medical data in these reports are tremendous. And with the Jackson Reforms in place, it is really a big challenge in front of litigation experts to invest time in such activities. This has given rise to the need to have a litigation support team, which helps experts to form their opinion.
Litigation Support Team-Medical Data Summarization
The team will provide ‘ready to review’ data to experts. Support team creates a medical data summary from these records by:
1. Sorting Of Medical Records: When medical records are retrieved there might be no date sequence or page number sequence. The team makes sure that the dates are arranged chronologically to help assess medical events sequentially. The page numbers are also arranged sequentially to avoid loss of vital data.
2. Data Extraction: The data from the medical records will be extracted and rearranged systematically in history, observation, treatment categories. All related data points will also be included. This creates a compact extract of the medical record- also be called Medical Data Summary, which enables the litigation expert to locate important facts of the case easily.
3. Data Hyperlinking: After the extract, the summaries are linked to the original documents and to the index provided. This is a great support while navigating through the summary.
Thus a well-organized, structured, sanitized compact summary document is generated which reduces the original reviewing efforts to 30% saving time invested by litigation experts.
