The core of this practice is written work. Most engagements start with a merit screen; these are what the surviving cases turn into.
A written critique of one opposing expert report, up to thirty pages. Where the report overreaches, where it asserts a standard that does not match how emergency medicine is actually practiced, what the chart itself shows against it, and specific targets for cross.
This assumes the underlying records have already been reviewed, either through a screen or a full review. If they have not, the record review is billed hourly first, because a rebuttal written without knowing the chart is worth very little.
The audit trail records when the chart was actually opened, when orders were actually placed, and when results were actually viewed. The note records what someone wrote afterward. Those two accounts frequently disagree, and the disagreement is often the most useful thing in the file.
I produce a written timeline reconciling the audit-trail export against the narrative note for one encounter. This is clinician workflow analysis from someone who uses Epic every shift, not an IT forensics opinion. I can tell you what a two-minute chart-open at 3:14am means about whether anyone laid eyes on the patient. I cannot tell you whether the log itself was tampered with, and I will not pretend otherwise.
The complete written work-up of standard-of-care issues across an entire file, structured for clean hand-off to a testifying or affidavit-signing expert where the matter requires one. Chronology work happens inside this engagement rather than as a separate product.
Where a screen has already been done, $375 of it credits against this work if you engage within sixty days.
Conferences with counsel by phone or video are billed at the professional-services rate. Deposition-preparation question sets for a specific witness are available to existing clients on request. Full terms are on the fee schedule.
Send the party names and the facility. I run the conflict check the same day at no charge, before any case facts change hands.
