The medical world is filled with obscure terminology and intangible processes that complicate the review of medical records. Sometimes the forest is lost for the trees.

The current state of electronic medical record software is not oriented towards the non-medical end user and often events and actions are difficult to decipher.

An experienced reviewer is able to parse records from multiple sources, synthesize a reasonable timeline and interpret findings. The resulting reports are more easily digestible and transparent, especially in cases where the original author of the medical record is not available.

This information can be very valuable in deciding whether or not medical care deviated from the generally accepted standard of care.
