This is a good look at what you should see in a medical report from a PI/Med-Mal Attorney's Point of View. This IS NOT a course about the law as it pertains to medical records (HIPAA, confidentiality, etc.).

Excellent program, it provided a lot of information otherwise unknown by attorneys not practicing in the PI field. Just having a major operation, I found it fascinating. Great job guys.

Kristen (Wilmette, IL)

Excellent, one of the best courses I've taken (of over 20). Use of sample forms was very informative. As in-house healthcare counsel, found practice tips outstanding. Would recommend a Part II, by these same speakers, that would take audience through a specific case using actual records (I would underline and box pertinent passages). Could also introduce common abbreviations and explain common assessment tools (e.g., alert x 3 means...).

Good for entry level attorney.

Good overview of hospital charts, would recommend to others.
