Case Summary

Excelas Case Summary

Comprehensive in analysis yet concise in delivery, a case summary provides a clear, objective overview of the entire medical record. It objectively presents the relevant facts in a narrative format, highlighting key providers and events, and identifying any missing information that might be critical to your defense. The case summary gathers information from all providers and facilities into one report allowing you to easily locate and print important documents, and provides a clear analysis and conclusion. The case summary is the perfect tool for early risk assessment and gathering the facts and documentation that inform your defense strategy.

Medical Chronology

Excelas Medical Chronology

When the best way to understand a case is to see the events as they happened, a detailed medical chronology is the answer. Chronologies are detailed timelines of events that focus on the specific allegations, or highlight potential areas of liability. Excelas’ medical chronology displays all events in the medical record but can also be presented as topic chronologies that focus on specific areas of concern, such as skin integrity, nutrition, or patient compliance. Medical chronologies are easy to read and can be sorted by topic, provider, or facility type. The perfect tool to show the sequence of events or refute allegations, chronologies put all the relevant case information at your fingertips.

Medical Record Organization

Excelas Medical Record Organization

An efficient and orderly medical review starts with a complete and organized record. Excelas lays this critical foundation by organizing the patient record chronologically, by episode or care setting. During organization, records are checked for completeness. When an important section of the record is missing, you’re notified so that you may take appropriate action to address any gaps that are found. A HIPAA compliance check is also performed to ensure that all pages of the record are relevant to your case. Documentation belonging to other patients is removed or redacted, providing you with a clean record, free of errant information. Once records are organized and complete, they are uploaded to Zaxas, our online document viewing system that provides secure 24/7 access to the records. Excelas’ record organization process is ideal for early preparation and planning, and for producing complete records to plaintiff attorneys or regulatory agencies.
