We Support Legal Processes with Clarity, Efficiency, and Accuracy
Velma J. Haye, DNP, LNHA, and Certified Legal Nurse Consultant, ensures medical record reviews and investigations are handled correctly and promptly.
Our Services
With the goal of bridging the gap between the legal world and the world of healthcare and nursing, our credentialed and trained nurses, apply their expertise in a variety of cases involving legal issues associated with malpractice claims. As Legal Nurse Consultants, we are dedicated and committed to uncovering the truth evidenced by efficient reports. Besides malpractice claims, we service other areas of health care claims such as worker’s compensation claims, investigations, and research.
Gerontological Care
As experts in the field of Gerontology, with a deep and experiential view of care of the elderly, we focus heavily on long-term care malpractice claims. Here we apply knowledge of the Federal Regulations coupled with Nursing Standard of Care to clarify care requirements and actual care delivered.
Documentation Review
Medical documentation to give a
clear picture of care, must be organized in a particular way. Our knowledge of the chart and how it should be organized is part and
parcel of our expertise. Our complete understanding of the chart allows us to recognize what is missing.
Incident and Accidents
Most claims begin with an incident/accident. Besides investigating incidents and accidents to determine the
appropriateness of response, we possess the expertise to analyze incident/accidents to determine if standard of care was achieved.
