Risk managers, industry experts, and long-term care leaders have been discussing the importance of the following in defending COVID-19 claims and litigation cases:

- Federal Guidance
- State Guidance
- Local Guidance
- Company Response to the Guidance
- Facility Response to the Guidance

Excelas, LLC has been instrumental in developing a way to memorialize all this information in an [easy to use, cloud-based system.](/defense-readiness)

**Will this be all we reference?** We believe there is an additional layer to the already voluminous amount of information individuals and providers were being forced to evaluate on a daily basis – the medical treatment expectations, and how they were changing throughout 2020.
 Through our software, all information can be merged into an individual patient or resident’s [medical chronology](/clinical-analysis) to exhibit a comprehensive, sequential record of all relevant standards and expectations at a specific point in time.
