Our Process

An effective engagement begins with the decision you need to make and the records needed to answer it. Intake, authorization to receive records, analysis and case discussion are separate steps; opening an intake form is not proof that a matter has been accepted.

From inquiry to case discussion

Know the question, agree the scope, then examine the evidence.

Prepare the inquiry without sending patient records by ordinary email. Confirm the engagement requirements before transfer, then use the review to identify supported findings and a practical next-action list.

What should the first inquiry establish?

Identify the parties and care setting for the conflict check, the disputed episode, the alleged harm and any known deadline. Explain whether you need screening, a deeper review, risk and compliance support or a focused case discussion. Avoid sending patient records through ordinary email.

In practice · what this means for the case

Use Contact for general questions or Start Secure Intake on the case page. A clear decision question helps identify the appropriate service and prevents mismatched expectations.

What needs to happen before records are sent?

The engagement scope, signed agreement, Business Associate Agreement and payment must be complete before the secure upload invitation is issued. The Clio Grow intake attachment is optional and only for clients whose BAA is already in place; completing intake does not automatically authorize record transfer.

In practice · what this means for the case

Wait for the approved secure upload invitation. Keep record transfer separate from inquiry, and do not treat returning from the intake form as confirmation of submission.

What makes the review focused and useful?

Agree the care episode and questions to be addressed. Supply the relevant record sources and disclose known gaps, prior reviews and conflicting accounts. Additional evidence may change the scope or the conclusions; a comprehensive-looking file is not necessarily complete.

In practice · what this means for the case

Prepare a provider/date list and identify the evidence not yet obtained. Raise deadlines and requested work products before the review begins rather than assuming every service has the same scope.

What should happen at the case discussion?

Review supported findings, uncertainties, contrary evidence and the questions for counsel or independent experts. Discuss which record requests or specialist opinions would materially affect the next decision. Clinical analysis supports, but does not replace, legal judgment or qualified expert testimony.

In practice · what this means for the case

Leave with a focused next-action list. When new records arrive, ask whether the existing findings need revision instead of treating the first report as an unchangeable account.

Illustrative scenario · not a client case

Illustrative intake scenario

Counsel has a short deadline and a partial hospital chart. The immediate task is to identify the question, conflict information, missing sources and feasible scope. Records follow only through the approved secure process after the required agreement, BAA and payment — not simply because the inquiry was received.

Start with the inquiry and engagement requirements; prepare records for transfer only when the secure upload invitation arrives.

For the underlying methodology, see Clinical Intelligence. General educational information; conclusions about an individual matter require record-specific review.
