Document Prep Services Cut Comprehensive Review Time
Time is valuable, and with the demands of a rapidly approaching deadline, it can seem even more so. Is your team spending countless hours organizing and reviewing documentation? Imagine the difference that could be made by spending that time properly preparing for cases with clean, organized files at your fingertips. That difference can be reality. IKS Medico-Legal Doc Prep services helps our IME, legal, and clinical documentation clients overcome these time-consuming challenges.
Common Documentation Review Problems
Backlogs and Quantity
Despite our living in a digitized society, paperwork seems never ending. Not only do volumes increase, but redundancy in the paperwork increases with it. The stacks of files can take up too many hours so a lot of reviewers will put these off to work on other back-office duties. This creates a backlog in reviewing, which in turn, increases the time needed to prepare for a case. When staff spends time reviewing, it takes away from other office activities that affect aspects of the case itself.
According to Business Insider, temporary legal attorneys can review about 80 documents an hour. Even worse, this time nearly doubles if they are not familiar with medical record materials. The time it takes to review medical records can fluctuate based on its volume and complexity.
Not an Efficient Use of Time
An average case can take up to 3 to 6 months to resolve, but could that be elongated with the time-consuming task of review? It can take up to 30 days or longer to receive medical records from a clinician. With the closing deadline rapidly approaching, there are only so many hours in a day to get through multiple piles of documents.
IKS sorts through 200 pages per hour on average. We relieve the time reviewed by doubling the average page per hour and adhering to any time parameters given.
Poor Results
Poor document review can lead to poor outcomes, whether it’s due to a lack of time, too many documents, or needing to complete other critical tasks. Reviewers fail to effectively identify any red flags quickly when the records are duplicative and disorganized. This causes problems all the way down the line, for everyone involved in the case.
