MediConnect Global Releases Litigation Support Whitepaper: Medical Record Retrieval Strategies and Best Practices — Co-Written by Thomas Schultz; Highlights 14 Litigation Support
Strategies in Obtaining Medical Records Law Firms Can Use to Build
Stronger Cases
SALT LAKE CITY (PRWEB) January 14, 2008
According to Strategies and Best Practices in Medical Record Retrieval, co-written by Thomas A. Schultz, a partner at Lopez, Hodes, Restaino, Milman & Skikos of Newport Beach, Calif., law firms must obtain medical records and use them more than they ever have in the past for litigation support.
“(Medical records) must be mined for meaningful data and organized for effective analysis and presentation. Doing a good job often takes considerable effort, but is absolutely necessary to building a strong case,” from the whitepaper.
The whitepaper, which is immediately available for litigation support at http://www.mediconnect.net, outlines 14 strategic ways law firms can improve the medical record retrieval process making it easier to build and win profitable cases.
“Initially it doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult to obtain medical records for clients,” said Schultz. “But, there are so many things to remember and sequences to go through that one little mistake can delay record retrieval significantly and delay litigation in important cases. This whitepaper provides litigation support with the most critical and strategic steps to obtaining medical records–and ultimately saving them time and costs.”
The 14 best practices cover everything from obtaining HIPAA approved authorizations from clients as early as possible, to tying retrieved medical records to in-house case management software systems.
“By making a few changes, law firms can reduce costs, better leverage their staff, and take on larger and more complex cases without additional infrastructure,” according to the whitepaper.”

New Portable Medical Records Can Save Lives in an Emergency
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 5, 2006
Vital Record Corporation (www.vitalrecord.net) announces a computer application named ViRec, which records medical history onto a thumb-sized storage device and onto a standard cell phone. As many as 98,000 people die each year due to medical errors. A study given in “The Journal of the American Medical Association” (5/2005) indicates the death rate has changed little. To help reduce medical errors, the ViRec portable medical records application provides direct access to a person’s medical information, such as identification information, prescription and non-prescription medications, doctors and care givers, insurance carriers, and family history.
When the storage device is plugged into a computer, the medical information is automatically displayed using the computer’s installed Internet browser application. In an emergency, medical personnel have immediate access to the medical information simply by browsing the various pages containing the medical data. Alternatively, the medical history can be stored on a cell phone and subsequently displayed using simple key selection available on the phone.
For ease of recording the medical information, web page format is used. The data is written to the portable storage device for viewing with a standard Internet browser. The option of including a digital photograph of the owner is provided in the Identification category of the medical data.
The unique portable storage unit is a “plug and play” device. When it is plugged into a computer, the ViRec application automatically starts with a button selection for launching the Internet browser with the initial Identification page of the medical information. As with standard web page format, selections are made with buttons to select and view the various pages of medical data.
With the “plug and play” feature, emergency medical personnel do not need special application training since a standard web browser is used for viewing the medical information.
The small storage unit contains the ViRec application and controls, as well as all the medical information. Thus, all components of ViRec are self contained in the portable device.
Although a web browser is used to record and view the medical information, no internet connection is required. The medical information is kept private and secure and not vulnerable to access on the public, untrusted Internet. Additionally, the medical data stored on the device is encrypted and cannot be read using any other application.
Moreover, no external power is needed to maintain the contents of the storage unit. Because the unit is small, it can be carried, worn around the neck, or placed on a key chain.
An added function of the ViRec application is the transmission of medical information from the storage unit to a standard cell phone. A temporary Internet connection is required to send the medical data in encrypted form to the Vital Record Corporation server before placement on the cell phone.
The installed application manager software of the cell phone is used to retrieve the medical data from the company’s server, including a special ViRec application for displaying the data. The medical data is automatically removed from the server once it has been successfully stored on the cell phone.
To use this added function, the cell phone must have Internet access capability to retrieve the medical data. The cell phone must also support Java applications known as Midlets.

New Electronic Medical Records Device Can Save Lives in an Emergency
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 24, 2007
A recently released computer application called Med Records to Go™, that stores electronic medical records, can help reduce errors in emergency conditions, as well as in hospital or medical clinic admissions. Introduced by the Vital Record Corporation in November, 2006, Med Records to Go™ uses flash drive technology to record and store health information for emergency viewing by medical personnel. In addition, the portable application can transfer electronic medical records from the small storage unit to a standard cell phone for emergency reference.
“The Institute of Medicine published a report ‘To Err Is Human, Building a Safer Health System’ (IOM 2000) in which the institute estimated that up to 98,000 patients may die each year because of the mistakes of doctors, nurses, and other hospital workers,” says Roy Whittington, Director of Vital Record Corporation. “Few published studies, however, have quantified or described injuries to patients that occur prior to reaching the hospital. Med Records to GoTM can reduce the number of errors by providing instantaneous health information about the patient and that could end up saving lives.”
Med Records to Go™ provides direct access to a person’s health information, including such information as identification, medications, doctors, caregivers, insurance carriers, and family history. Other medical disclosure information is also provided, such as DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) orders, living and testamentary trusts and wills. For positive identification, a digital photograph of the owner may be recorded as part of the medical data.
When medical personnel plug the portable storage unit into a computer through a common USB port, the health information is automatically displayed using the computer’s installed Internet browser application. All health information is in web page format. Additionally, no Internet connection is required since all health information, application software, and controls are privately stored in the portable unit.
Emergency medical personnel have immediate access to the health information by browsing the various pages of medical data. No special application knowledge is required to view the data because a standard Internet browser is used. As an option, the health information can be stored on a cell phone and subsequently displayed using key selection available on the phone.
Because all software, controls, and electronic medical records are contained in the thumb-sized unit, the health information is kept private and secure and not vulnerable to access on the public Internet. For additional security, the medical data stored in the device is encrypted and cannot be read using any other application.
No external power is needed to maintain the contents of the storage unit. Since the unit is small, it can be carried, worn around the neck, or placed on a key chain.
An additional feature of Med Records to Go™ is the transmission of electronic medical records from the storage unit to a standard cell phone. A temporary Internet connection is required to send the medical data in encrypted form to the Vital Record Corporation server before placement on the cell phone. In addition to medical data encryption, user identification and password controls are used for storing and retrieving the medical data from the corporate server.
The application manager software of the cell phone is used to retrieve and install a special cell phone application available on the server. The special application is used to store and display the medical data on the cell phone. Once the medical data is successfully stored on the cell phone, the data is automatically removed from the server.
To use this added function, the cell phone must have Internet access capability to retrieve the medical data. The cell phone must also support Java applications known as Midlets.
