Types of Nurse Consultants
If you’re seeking the right kind of specialized nursing professional to assist you, you might conduct research and find that there are several types of nurse consultants who work in different capacities. Clinical nurse consultants help to develop standards of practice and to assess the functionality of health care delivery systems, while operations nurse consultants analyze and work to optimize various operations of an organization, from administrative to financial.
Legal nurse consultants are more specifically focused on collaborating with lawyers representing clients on either side of litigation. Throughout a case or trial, they may assist in a number of valuable ways, including:
- Analyzing medical records to determine the merit of allegations;
- Categorizing key medical events;
- Pinpointing and explaining any breaches of standard of care;
- Identifying case strengths and weaknesses;
- Assisting with preparation and presentation of evidence for legal proceedings;
- Coordinating and attending independent medical exams (IMEs);
- Locating and interviewing potential medical expert witnesses;
- Conducting and compiling relevant clinical research or literature;
- Educating the jury on relevant medical facts and other details pertinent to the case;
- And more.
In addition to these services, the certified legal nurse consultants at Cardinal LifeCare are also qualified to create evidence-based life care plans and to serve as expert witnesses during trial or settlement negotiations. Leveraging our comprehensive nurse consulting services can be highly beneficial in any legal scenario calling for in-depth clinical research, case assessment and well-informed testimony.
