Malpractice Leads to Patient’s Death
Electronic Medical Record analysis uncovers records tampering
Our client, an attorney specializing in medical malpractice, hired ArcherHall for our experience analyzing electronic medical records (EMR) and presenting accurate timelines of patient care. The attorney was dealing with a case involving a physician who was accused of medical malpractice after their patient’s condition worsened significantly under their follow-up care. The attorney requested a copy of the patient’s electronic medical record from the physician, who presented him with paper documents. The attorney noticed inconsistencies in the dates of the records and suspected fabrication or tampering had occurred. ArcherHall conducted EMR analysis to find out the truth.

Digging for Lost Emails
A creative solution to a challenging email extraction
Our client required access to copies of emails recorded on their company email journaling system to use as evidence for their defense in court. Due to technical difficulties with the system, extracting the information needed was becoming a long and arduous procedure. The judge’s concerns about delays in the discovery process mounted extra pressure on the attorneys, who were told to provide the digital evidence as quickly as possible.

Malpractice at a Surgical Facility
Forensic examination of Electronic Medical Records
Our client was the plaintiff in a case seeking to prove that a surgical facility was not following proper medical protocol and performing surgeries without the proper pre-surgery health assessment. Allegations were made that the facility was falsifying medical records by overwriting the pre-surgery assessment digital signatures with the post-surgery medical record signature. In effect, this data replacement was erasing the evidence of the malpractice.
