Medical summaries in brief

The medical summary, also known as a medical chronology and medical synopsis, is a document that consists of the events that have taken place in the treatment of a patient. Summarizing medical records is a very important part of personal injury, mass tort, nursing home abuse, long-term care, medical malpractice, and related cases.

The summaries are of two types:

Complete medical summary

In a comprehensive medical summary, the physician reviews the entire set of medical records and captures the events that are relevant to the case, including the important points related to the case. It is captured chronologically with linked bat numbers for easy reference to relevant records. Relevant data is not lost in this summary, so the reviewer gets a complete summary that is required for the case.

Narrative summary

The narrative summary is usually done before accepting a case. Provides a fair understanding of whether the case is worth fighting for or not. This summary is the essence of all medical records, summarized in a page or two, so the reviewer does not have to spend too much time analyzing the value of a case.

This summary may not be captured chronologically or good enough to understand the timeline of events. However, you can reference the logs, so you know where it came from.
