Trinity Employment Specialists’ Post

I recently produced a hyperlinked chronology with an analysis for a case. Before I began the chronology, my attorney-client sent me the report written by our expert physician retained in this case. Reviewing the expert report before doing a deep dive into the records helps me greatly because I know the big picture up front. Even though a physician had already analyzed the records, my client specifically requested my opinion on the care to be included throughout the chronology. Having a registered nurse analyze the records can reveal specific details the physician expert may have overlooked or may not have included in their review. Nurses will analyze records differently than physicians. That’s not a bad or negative thing. We have different education, clinical experience, and knowledge bases. However, having a physician AND a nurse review the records will only strengthen a case. For example, in this particular case, I was able to identify that two pages of the medical record were randomly missing. Something my client was not aware of. These pages involved the administration and titration of a vital medication.....suspicious. I notified my client of this finding and that we’d need to request and review these pages. After carefully reviewing the records, I also identified the correct timeline of specific documentation by a key nursing player that was questionable in the expert’s report. The moral of the story here is that physicians and nurses can both play vital roles in case review. We each bring different and unique insights into cases. Why not utilize the expertise of both for your complex medical cases? Happy Tuesday! #medicalmalpracticeattorney #personalinjurylawyer #triallawyer

Over 18,000 pages That’s how long the medical records were for my first case I did as a legal nurse consultant. And nope, there were hardly any duplicates. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t panic in the beginning, but when you pay attention to the instructions and wants of the attorney client, the amount is just a number. I was able to turn those 18,000 pages of records into a 140 page very detailed chronology. The records spanned years and included multiple hospital admissions, long term care stays and surgeries with PT/OT, dietary, and outpatient physician notes. Sorting through and interpreting that information is HARD-especially for someone with a non medical background. But when that messy, hodge-podge of information is organized and placed in a format that’s easily readable and digestible it becomes USABLE. 🗝️ A table that shows just how many times insulin was needed and refused by Ms. X, who was healing from a surgical wound. Or many times there’s a nugget of important information hidden that can be easily overlooked by the untrained eye. For example: 🗝️ Mr. Y suffered an unfortunate complication of a life saving medication. No where else but a dietary note contained mention of a preexisting medical condition that could directly contribute and increase the chances of the side effect Mr. Y experienced. Recently, after speaking with an attorney about just what an LNC does he said, ‘so what you really are is an investigator of the medical records’. Yup, pretty much. An investigator who utilizes their expertise and knowledge to interpret and organize the pieces, making sense of the puzzle. 🩺 Taking my 13+ years of nursing experience and using it to assist in the legal field ⚖️ 📧 [email protected] #expertwitness #legalnurseconsultant #medicalmalpractice #personalinjury #emergencyroomnurse #traumanurse #criticalcarenurse #nursesonlinkedin

Why become an A&E doctor? On the day that a new group of junior doctors join us, here’s some reasons why I specialised in Emergency Medicine….  👉🏾 the variety…. No day is ever the same with both child and adult patients attending with an enormous range of conditions - trauma, mental health, accidents, heart attack, stroke all the way through to minor injuries (anything, in fact, which is either an accident or emergency!) 👉🏾 the immediacy - we generally see an immediate response to our intervention - most dramatically when we save a life on the resus table  👉🏾 decision-making - A&E often requires rapid and decisive decisions to be made, and this aligns with how I work and think, and the type of pressure I enjoy  👉🏾team work - the ED functions because doctors, nurses, advanced care practitioners, paramedics, nursing assistants and everyone else comes together in a highly collaborative environment. It’s a great team. 👉🏾 learning and development - I teach “Advanced Trauma Life Support” to doctors but also learn from junior doctors who have done a stint in a different dept and bring the latest learnings with them. Learning is a continuous journey. Every senior doctor will have made a decision to specialise in their field - any comments below explaining why you chose yours? 👇🏾 (and yes, I like variety so much I co-qualified as a GP too 😉) #a&e #welcome

Here's some information about critical care nurses that could be appealing to attorneys specializing in personal injury and medical malpractice cases: Expertise in High-Stakes Situations✔️ As a Critical care nurse we are trained to work in high-stress environments, such as intensive care units (ICUs) and emergency departments, where patients are often in life-threatening conditions. Our experience in managing complex medical cases involving severe injuries or illnesses makes them valuable resources for attorneys handling personal injury and medical malpractice cases. Detailed Documentation and Observation Skills✔️ Critical care nurses are adept at conducting thorough assessments, monitoring patients' vital signs, and documenting their condition meticulously. Attorneys rely on our expertise to interpret medical records, identify deviations from the standard of care, and uncover evidence of negligence or medical errors that may have contributed to a patient's injury or death. Understanding of Medical Procedures and Protocols✔️ Critical care nurses possess extensive knowledge of medical procedures, protocols, and best practices for managing critically ill patients. We can provide insights into whether healthcare providers followed established protocols, administered appropriate treatments, and responded effectively to complications or emergencies, which is crucial in medical malpractice litigation. Collaborative Approach to Patient Care✔️ Critical care nurses work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including physicians, respiratory therapists, and pharmacists, to coordinate patient care and optimize outcomes. Attorneys value their ability to collaborate effectively with healthcare providers, communicate complex medical concepts clearly, and present cohesive narratives that support their legal arguments in court. Advocacy for Patient Rights and Safety✔️ Critical care nurses are advocates for patient rights and safety, advocating for the best interests of their patients and ensuring that they receive quality care. Attorneys seeking justice for victims of medical negligence or malpractice rely on their commitment to patient advocacy and their willingness to speak out against substandard practices or systemic failures in healthcare delivery. In summary, critical care nurses bring a unique combination of clinical expertise, attention to detail, and advocacy skills that can benefit attorneys handling personal injury and medical malpractice cases. Their insights and testimony can strengthen legal arguments, enhance case outcomes, and ultimately, help secure justice for injured patients and their families. #LegalNurseConsultant #MedicalLegalExpert #NurseConsulting #HealthcareLaw #MedicalRecordsAnalysis #ExpertWitness #NurseLegalAdvisor #MedicalLitigation #LegalNurseServices #HealthcareLitigation #NurseExpert #LegalNurseReview #NurseConsultantLife #MedicoLegal #healthcareconsulting

Physician Associates (and Nurses and Pharmacists) seeing minor illness is a waste of time There is a fairytale that General Practice (Primary Care) should be like an onion, with patients having to fight through less knowledgeable outer layers until they get deep enough to find someone who knows how to help. But this isn’t our experience. We found letting patients book appointments directly with the most qualified person in the practice that they wanted, actually reduced our workload. What is going on? Are we an outlier, or does the official fable miss something? Surely PAs with their science degree and diploma are better than patients at knowing if they need to see a doctor. But how are PAs coming to their judgments? Sure, they have more medical knowledge than the average patient. But they only have the sight, sound, touch and smell of their consultation to work out if anything serious is going on. Patients, on the other hand, have all the sensations in their whole body to guide them. Not only that, but they have this rich data over days or weeks, not just a few minutes. And, since they have only one body to look after, they are experts in noticing when it has changed and something is wrong. We should be helping them to recognise problems and decide if they need to see a doctor. If they get it wrong we should teach them to do better next time. And they will. This is not an attack on PAs, they are an incredible resource with general medical knowledge who can help patients with chronic physical and mental illness. They can multiply the effectiveness of doctors by expanding time and support beyond what we can offer. But it is a waste of their time and talent to try and second guess or triage patients. Patients are not customers, they are partners in creating health in our communities. The only thing they care about is minimising the time to return to maximum possible health. That should be the only standard we should care about or measure. Minor illnesses should be defined as those a patient can sort out themselves. For anything else they should see the clinician of their choice.
