Attorneys, legal nurse consultants, paralegals, and expert medical witnesses use medical record reviews to prepare for litigation. Typically, disability cases, personal injury lawsuits, fraud investigations, workers’ compensation claims, and medical malpractice cases involve comprehensive medical record review. Given the legal importance of medical records, it is important that all details of each patient encounter are summarized in the medical records. Clinical findings, decisions made and actions agreed to (by whom), instructions and information given to patients, prescribed drugs/treatment/investigation, patient’s progress, monitoring, and follow-up arrangements should all be included.
