The traditional medical records review workflow
| Phase | Timeline | Activities |
|---|---|---|
| Collection & preparation | Week 1 | Records arrive as scanned PDFs or faxes. Paralegal organizes by provider, checks duplicates, creates index, flags poor-quality scans. |
| Initial review | Week 2 | Paralegal or nurse reads records, highlighting key events: ER visits, symptoms, diagnoses, treatment changes, referrals. Complex cases require reading thousands of pages. |
| Chronology building | Week 3 | Paralegal builds timeline in Excel/Word. Each event gets date, description, provider, source citation. Cross-reference dates, collapse duplicates, identify gaps. |
| Verification & refinement | Week 4 | Attorney reviews chronology, spots gaps, sends back for corrections. Paralegal finds missing details and updates. |

Evaluating Vendors: Red Flags vs. Green Flags
| Red flags (run away) | Green flags (look for) |
|---|---|
| Claim 100% accuracy | Transparent about limitations |
| No human verification workflow | Human verification built into process |
| Vague or evasive HIPAA answers | Clear compliance documentation |
| Entries without source citations | Every entry citation-anchored |
| Can't explain QA processes | Defined, documented QA workflows |
Questions to ask during vendor demos
Your vendor evaluation checklist:
- Show me an entry that's wrong
a. Forces them to demonstrate their QA process and how errors are caught/corrected. - What happens when I upload new records to an existing case?
a. Tests version control and whether you lose annotations/notes when updating. - How do you handle handwritten notes?
a. Reveals OCR capabilities and where human review steps in. - Can I see your BAA and SOC 2 report?
a. If they can't produce these immediately, they don't have them. - What's your average turnaround time from upload to verified chronology?
a. Distinguishes "instant AI draft" from "court-ready timeline." - Show me how you handle this edge case.
a. Bring a challenging record (poor scan quality, multiple overlapping providers, long treatment history) and see how the system performs on real-world complexity.
