Additional Information

As an EMR forensics expert I can help others interpret the paper records that are generated from an EMR. Understanding the entire technical architecture and the complex regulatory requirements in healthcare requires a depth of understanding of the entire technical stack along with knowing the types of technologies used in healthcare. I am able to do a front end and back analysis to ensure integrity, sequence of events and completeness of comprehensive medical records. Having spent my entire career in healthcare I provide a deep understanding of the clinical, technical and healthcare workflow to articulate clearly to a jury the sequence of events in medical legal cases. I have practiced as an RN in many settings and have been a CIO of two major academic hospitals in the Greater New York area. I have designed, built, tested and deployed EMRs across the country including Cerner and Epic EMRs. Should you need the services of an EMR forensics expert to augment analysis, understanding of the paper medical record and the success of medical litigation please feel free to contact me.
