Merit Review
When performing a merit review, a legal nurse consultant analyzes medical documents to provide a clear, focused, and unbiased document that allows the attorney to make informed choices regarding the viability of a case.
Non-meritorious cases are discovered before additional time and money are invested in them.
Merit reviews include an objective assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of a case based on the medical record, with careful analysis of the issues that may impact liability and damages, supported by evidence-based research.
This allows the attorney to develop a case strategy that is grounded in defensible medical research.

Medical Record Review and Case Summary
A medical record review is a comprehensive analysis of medical records to organize the documents. It is also used to identify gaps in care and missing records, deviation from standards of care, unexpected omissions, and charting abnormalities.
It is a document that is adaptable to the attorney’s needs.
Analysis of the record involves reviewing nurse and doctor notes, diagnostic reports, follow-up visits, treatment plans, and other medical reports. The goal is to identify and reveal key, relevant medical information, providing the legal team with insight into the medical aspects of the case.
This clarity helps attorneys understand the medical issues, evaluate causation, and assess the significance of clinical findings within the context of the case.

Medical Record Chronologies
Chronologies are streamlined medical timelines that outline a patient's treatment and history.
Chronologies play an important role in litigation by clarifying medical complexities within the clear outline of the patient’s medical care.
They provide a comprehensive outline of the patient’s treatments and interventions, enabling attorneys, medical experts, judges, and juries to understand the case's medical complexities.
Medical record pages are referenced in the chronology to ease navigation through the records.
