Classify and chronologise medical records automatically.
MasterFile’s unique views organize medical evidence so you can instantly put your finger on anything by author, date, document type, or issue, etc. – or your own user-defined categories. Importing a medical record sorts it into chronological order which lets you easily classify medical events by issue, analyze treatment plans, treatment gaps and treatment outcomes to pinpoint adverse events and note deviations in standards of care, etc. During medical record review, the treatment chronology and its sequence of events takes shape automatically.
You can ...
Categorize and isolate key facts and issues and add your insights the moment you start adding the case record to MasterFile. It’s simpler and quicker than any other approach. And you’ll find the case begins to take shape itself.
Provide important or specific information to counsel and the legal team almost instantly. For example, identifying which frequency specific conditions were assessed, dosage intervals, or how events were reported can be simply isolated, or browsed to, since MasterFile’s dynamic issue views pre-sort facts and documents in various ways.
We found it provides a more comprehensible analysis of the case. For example, MasterFile provides views that offer a visual snapshot of the facts, their analysis and the case time line or chronology. One can “see” the case more easily than CaseMap.
MasterFile allows us to set up timelines, topics, issues and document types and to then cross reference amongst dates, topics, issues, witnesses and parties. … One of its key strengths is the ability to look at the evidence in many different ways depending on the line of analysis one is pursuing.
Explore the treatment timeline.
Chronologies are created automatically. Simply assigning a date to a fact or recording a treatment event adds it to the timeline and links underlying material – the treater’s notes, nurse’s comments, etc. This chronology of events ensures everything is being noted, without which, events can slip through the cracks. The unified view of the treatment chronology and the legal nurse consultant’s detailed summary, free of medical jargon, results in faster and improved attorney action.
Look at the entire case timeline, or events related to a specific healthcare provider, medical condition, period, player or issue – such as results of a series of critical lab tests or medications prescribed – and probe the medical record as you need.
Track the treaters in your case.
Tracking the treaters in your case is important too. The treater list is an important aid when conducting witness interviews, when you brainstorm the case strategy and when you need to bring new law firm team members up to speed on a case.
Create custom reports in PDF, Excel or Word.
You can create presentation quality medical reports for clients or others easily with MasterFile’s Grab n Go Briefs. Simply, grab (select) the information needed from any combination of views and add it to the brief as you go. MasterFile automatically creates the brief and logical sections properly formatted for you on-the-fly. Since generation takes place in PDF or Word, you can touch it up as needed.
In PDF format, hyperlinks in each chronology summary report allow quick navigation to the respective source pages referenced in medical documents from the medical history.
Medical summaries, injury reports and treatment timelines provide attorneys working with you on medical malpractice, workmen’s comp. and other personal injury claims with the means to more precisely understand medical terms and procedures relevant to the case, leading to better outcomes.

Facts in CaseMap
