What is a Review of Medical Records?
Clinical care is measured by a review of medical records to match documentation of care to measurable criteria. Service quality is measured by reviewing each clinic’s process for assuring the timeliness and safety of appropriate patient care. This includes emergency, urgent and non-urgent care.
When using medical records to create a claim or defense, legal teams must have these documents requested through a selected process. So as to aggregate enough information needed for a specific case, analyzing these records can be challenging and overwhelming. However, understanding the way to review medical records may be a cornerstone of their profession, and legal nurse consultants can successfully navigate this process using their familiarity and expertise.
Analyzing and Organizing Medical Records Critically
Medical record review and analysis affect the great evaluation of healthcare information of a patient. It involves finding, reviewing, interpreting and analyzing the facts during a typical medical record. It is very important that medical record reviews are done with a high degree of accuracy.
In organizing the medical records, it allows for early identification of missing records and quicker, more efficient analysis. Additionally, organizing the records may be a valuable service to the legal team and allows for the whole team to seek out specific data and reports in identified records during a short amount of your time.
After being organized, the medical records should be reviewed in reference to the actual case or filed complaint. This analysis should specialize in any known case issues, also as other areas of concern appreciated by the nurse reviewer. Any needed chronologies or timelines are completed concurrently with the review.
