Also, ask yourself these questions to determine if Butler & Associates could increase your profitability:

Will you be able to determine what pieces of documentation should be included in the medical record? 

Nurses read the medical record from front to back.  We recognize very quickly the absence of important information. 

How quickly can you detect tampering in the medical record?  

Tampering can drastically change the outcome of your case.  Our specialized CLNC training not only enables us to detect tampering but allows us to quickly locate the forensic experts needed to review your case.

Are you able to understand and translate medical abbreviations and terminology?

With over 20 years experience we are adept at reading and translating even nearly illegible documentation.  We are also qualified to do case screenings, allowing you to spend time and energy on meritorious cases.

Are you aware that a CLNC is much more cost effective than a physician? 

As a result of our extensive clinical experience, we are very familiar with both medical and nursing standards of care, while physicians may not recognize deviations from nursing standards of care.

Can you translate the complex medical issues of the case into information that is easily understood by both you and the jurors?  

Educating comes naturally to the nurses at Butler & Associates. As nurses we have spent much of our careers teaching both patients and students about medical conditions and procedures in a way that is easy for them to understand. 

How much time do your spend locating and interviewing expert witnesses? 
As a member of a national network of certified legal nurse consultants we have access to a comprehensive network of experts in every area of healthcare.
