Abstract:
"A Medico-Legal template process, created by the Medical- Nursing community, that audio-visually demonstrates actual injury and trauma of a patient physically, functionally, mentally, emotionally and psychologically and it's impact on altering the patient's premorbid / baseline activities of daily living, both short and long term. The audio-visual record is a patient focused, neutral Medical and Nursing assessment and analysis application for the discovery, mediation and litigation components of Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice law, and other applicable fields of study. This material is unique and original in that it applies the Nursing Process to the clinical forensic video, it is created by the Medical-Nursing community for the Legal community,and it creates a neutral position within Plaintiff and Defense litigation." * United States Patent Pending 12/806,345.
