EMR Forensics Expert LLC

With EMRs (electronic medical records) and EHRs (electronic health records) becoming ubiquitous, interpreting the medical records has become more challenging. Frequently physicians, attorneys and hospitals require deep technical expertise to explain the sequence of events, the audit trails, and the technology that created the paper document that is printed out to represent the electronic EMR. There are underlying processes that generate the paper medical record from an EMR. With clinical and technical expertise, EMR forensics experts can explain the medical record clearly to judges and juries in simple terms. The technical architecture of an EMR is complex. Judges and juries make decisions about litigation based on understanding the impact of the EMR on the patient care, outcomes and sequence of events.
