The role of medical record review in legal cases


Medical record review is a process that is commonly used in legal cases to gather information about a patient’s medical history and treatment. It involves a healthcare professional reviewing the patient’s medical records, which can include a wide range of documents such as medical reports, test results, treatment plans, and other information related to the patient’s care.

The purpose of medical record review is to identify relevant information that may be useful in a legal case, such as evidence of a diagnosis, treatment, or prognosis. This information can help attorneys establish the facts of the case and build a strong argument in support of their client’s position.

Medical record review is often used in personal injury cases, where an attorney may need to establish the nature and extent of a plaintiff’s injuries in order to seek damages from the defendant. It may also be used in workers’ compensation cases, where an attorney may need to evaluate an injured worker’s medical records to determine the appropriate level of compensation and benefits. 

Medical record review can be a complex and time-consuming process, as it involves reviewing large amounts of detailed and technical information. Therefore, attorneys may work with specialized medical record review companies or individual healthcare professionals to assist with this task.
