Posted by | Posted in Medical Health | Posted on 12-01-2010
Medical record review and analysis deal with comprehensive evaluation of the healthcare information of a patient. It involves finding, reviewing, interpreting and analyzing the facts in a typical medical record. Medical record analysis and review services are a great help for attorneys, plaintiffs, legal nurse consultants, insurance staff, and medico-legal case review firms.
Systematic evaluation is important in medical record review process. The process involves reviewing, analyzing and summarizing different types of medical records. Medical record reviews identify critical information contained in a patient’s medical records; these reviews assist attorneys to easily identify the strong and weak points in the cases they handle. It is important that medical record reviews are done with a high degree of accuracy. Therefore review companies employ qualified and efficient support personnel who offer dedicated services.
The process of medical record review and analysis includes:
• Receiving and organizing medical records
• Discovering missing records
• Consulting with healthcare providers
• Identifying factors that cause alleged damages or injuries
• Preparing brief written reports
• Analyzing and comparing witness reports
• Preparing a chronology of events
The medical record review and analysis team usually includes licensed healthcare professionals and board certified physicians. They carefully review the patient’s past medical records and medical history, and prepare medical record review chronologies and summaries. Utilizing case-specific client information and industry standard guidelines and treatment protocols, they can help reviewers locate and arrange all required information.
Medical review experts review and analyze the documentation for various cases including accident issues, illness, medical products, pharmaceutical and other related concerns. They prepare customized reports and work together with various specialists to ensure comprehensive and timely analysis.
Medical review companies carry out the entire review process strictly adhering to HIPAA stipulations and ensure complete data security.

Help answer the question about medical records
How to manage the previous medical records?Hello Everyone, I am a diabetic patient and having diabetes since last six years. So, since then till today I have got lots of prescriptions and other such medical records. The problem is that at any time one of the previous records gets needed for my further treatment and it really becomes bulky to take them all. They are really very difficult to maintain also as there are a numerous of them. I wanted to know that if there are any possible ways to get out of this problem of handling that much bulky hard data or bulky medical records?
Well, our privacy right now in terms of health care is virtually non-existent. This new law, at worst, will keep the same privacy rights. What's the difference?
Either system will violate us in various ways.
hum. is your mom going to get in trouble for looking? if mom is ok then i would question the nurse telling her you know the #'s.
if mom is not ok.. then i would call and pretend you never got the message on your VM and ask for a different nurse to look into it for you.
protein is nothing to ignore so get it figured out. good news baby is 38 weeks and is just fine to be born now if it needs to be.
Billions of electronic records around the world have already been stolen and compromised since electronic medical systems were introduced. This is just the beginning of total damage that will occur.
IBM was the company who helped Hitler code people into groups so they could figure out which people to save and which to exterminate and in which order. (Watch Michael Moore’s movie, The Corporation).
Also, I myself suffered for a long time because another patient’s records had gotten mixed in with mine and my doctor believed he had my results back from a specialist I had never seen! These records can kill you as well as save you. There is also no computer in the world that’s unhackable.
Yeah, and almost 50 years later, where are we?

@kensbay If the system doesn’t crash or lock up,or someone has changed the password! LOL!
I’ll bet that by 1970 there won’t be any paper used at all any hospitals……oh, never mind
By 1970, computerization will have automated many boring, repetitive tasks allowing workers more free time. By 1980, most people will only need to work about 20 hours a week and yet will make sufficient income due to the greater efficiencies generated by automation, which companies will benificently share with their employees.
Yes, society can look forward to a bright future with more leisure and a better, more comfortable lifestyle.

I've answered Clark Company in another answer.
1. Heather Flatt records all incoming customer cash receipts for her employer and posts the customer payments to their respective accounts.
Principle violated (PV) : Separate recordkeeping and custody over assets
If Heather handles receipts from customers, someone else should do the recording.
2. At Netco Company, Jeff and Jose alternate lunch hours. Jeff is the petty cash custodian, but if someone needs petty cash when he is at lunch, Jose fills in as custodian.
PV : Establish responsibilities. Divide responsibility for related transactions.
Set a rule that there will be no petty cash payments when Jeff is at lunch. If this is not possible, Jeff and Jose should count the cash together when Jeff goes for lunch and when he returns, so that it can be established who paid what out and if the books balance properly during Jose’s shift.
3. Nadine Cox posts all patient charges and payments at the P-Town Medical Clinic. Each night
Nadine backs up the computerized accounting system to a tape and stores the tape in a locked file at her desk.
PV : Safeguard assets.
It defeats the purpose if the computer and back-up tape are in the same room. In the case of a fire, both would get caught. The back-up should preferable be in another location.
4. Barto Sayles prides himself on hiring quality workers who require little supervision. As office manager, Barto gives his employees full discretion over their tasks and for years has seen no reason to perform independent reviews of their work.
PV : Perform regular and independent reviews.
Barto should perform regular and unannounced reviews to ensure that his instructions are being followed and controls are being adhered to. He should also bond employees.
5. Desi West’s manager has told her to reduce costs. Desi decides to raise the deductible on the plant’s property insurance from $5,000 to $10,000. This cuts the property insurance premium in half. In a related move, she decides that bonding the plant’s employees is a waste of money since the company has not experienced any losses due to employee theft. Desi saves the entire amount of the bonding insurance premium by dropping the bonding insurance.
PV : Establish responsibilities. Bond employees.
Desi should not decide by herself to raise the deductible. She should just submit the proposal to do so to her manager and let management decide. In addition, she should reinstate the bond on the employees.
Pushing it…
MedeFile’s centralized, confidential electronic portfolio gives you 24/7 access to your medical history. No more wasting time and filling out paperwork when you go to the doctor or the hospital. Your Medical records going Green. Alex Papas is donating $1 billion dollars in the medefilecard to companies, foundations, charities and churches to give to their customers, employees and their families.
you should ask to speak the dr. and review the results with him OR make an appt to see the dr and you can talk about the results and get a copy. Protein in the urine could be a sign of preeclampsia, this is serious and you may have to deliver before 40 weeks which would be fine because you are over 38 weeks and the baby would be fine. I would def ask for an appt ASAP to see your OBGYN.
