From Intake to Case-Ready Deliverable
A structured, defensible workflow from the moment you contact us to the moment your report is in hand.
We begin with a confidential call to understand the nature of the case, the issues in dispute, and what clinical questions need to be answered. No charge for this scoping conversation.
We execute a consulting agreement and receive medical records, imaging studies, billing records, and other pertinent documentation via our HIPAA-compliant secure transfer portal.
Our consultant conducts a thorough review of the records against current clinical standards, relevant nursing and medical literature, applicable regulatory guidelines, and institutional policies where available.
Before the written report is finalized, we present preliminary findings so you can redirect the scope, ask follow-up questions, and ensure the final deliverable addresses your case theory.
You receive a detailed written analysis with a chronological medical summary, standards of care discussion, identified deviations, causation analysis, and supporting literature citations — formatted for immediate use in litigation.

What Attorneys Say
“The medical record analysis Holistic Pathways provided was the clearest, most attorney-friendly clinical summary I have received in 18 years of medical malpractice practice. She identified issues I had completely missed.”
“We had a complex sepsis case with conflicting documentation across six providers. The causation analysis we received was meticulous, well-cited, and held up through three rounds of depositions.”
“Turnaround was exceptional — we had our preliminary findings within the week. The written report gave us exactly the foundation we needed for the expert witness we retained afterward.”

Accurate staging of pressure injuries at admission is the single most defensible act a facility can document.
Not all LNC credentials translate to courtroom value. Here is how to vet a consultant before your case strategy depends on their opinion.
