CLNC's Role in Medical Record Review
1. CLNCs turn disorganized records into a clear, actionable medical story.
Medical charts are frequently extensive, poorly organized, and filled with specialized terminology. A CLNC meticulously organizes, interprets, and summarizes the records so attorneys can immediately understand what happened, when it happened, and why it matters to the case.
2. They identify critical facts, missed details, and documentation gaps that impact liability.
Leveraging their extensive clinical experience, a CLNC can quickly detect subtle yet crucial details—such as medication discrepancies, delayed interventions, changes in a patient's condition, delays in escalating patient care, or missing documentation—that can significantly strengthen or weaken the case.
3. Identify deviations from standards of care with precision.
With a deep foundation in clinical knowledge, a CLNC is uniquely qualified to assess whether healthcare providers adhered to or deviated from accepted nursing and medical standards of care. This critical analysis empowers attorneys to quickly assess liability, anticipate defenses, and prepare for expert testimony needs.
4. Helping attorneys build a stronger case strategy from the start.
By identifying causation factors, establishing key timelines, noting contributing conditions, and suggesting potential defendants, the CLNC provides attorneys with a clear, data-driven roadmap for approaching litigation. This equips the attorney with early, informed decision-making and helps prevent costly, strategic missteps down the line.
