Medical record review prompts for legal nurse consultants

Medical record review prompts for legal nurse consultants produce the chronology, the merit screen and the billing reconciliation a retaining attorney can act on. Each one returns tables and role-tagged lists rather than narrative, and each marks where a physician opinion is required instead of supplying one.

The job

Turn a disordered record set into an accurate chronology and a clear analysis that a retaining attorney can act on, without crossing into rendering a medical opinion.

Produces

Medical chronology, merit screen, billing reconciliation, written case analysis, expert referral map.

Spine priority

All of it. This lane runs the fullest subset of any.

Run order

Complete spine in order, then L6 to establish what is outstanding, then L1 through L5.

The prompts

Run these after the spine prompts marked priority above. Placeholders in angle brackets need filling in.

Standard of care review

For each encounter, identify whether the documented care aligns with accepted practice for the presenting findings. Flag departures with the encounter, the documented care, and the departure. Present as a table. State where a specialty opinion is required rather than inferring one.

The closing clause is the scope-of-practice boundary and it belongs in the prompt rather than in your head.

Merit screen

Produce a merit summary: documented injuries, causation support, treatment adequacy, record completeness, and the identified strengths and weaknesses. Present each as a bulleted list with citations. No narrative framing.

Billing reconciliation

For each billed service, identify whether a corresponding clinical record documents it. Present as a table: date, provider, billed service, code, matching record found yes or no, citation. Total the unmatched entries.

Unmatched entries are usually an incomplete production rather than a billing problem. Reconcile against S4 before characterizing them.

Expert referral map

Identify every issue in this record set requiring expert medical opinion. For each: the issue, the specialty required, and the records that expert would need. Present as a table.

The third column saves the retaining attorney a week and makes the referral usable on arrival.

Attorney fact table

Produce a source-cited fact table for attorney review: fact, date, source document, page citation, and significance. One row per fact. No interpretation in the fact column.

The separation between the fact column and the significance column is the whole design. It lets the attorney disagree with your read without losing your work.

Record completeness certification

List every provider identified anywhere in the record set, whether their records are present, complete, or partial, and what is outstanding. Present as a table for use in a records request.

Run early and re-run after every supplemental production. Date each version with the production it covers.

Lane failure mode: opinion drift. The model will happily produce clinical conclusions, and a chronology that quietly contains them is a problem for the person who signs it. L1's closing clause and L5's column separation are the structural defenses. Read your own output for verbs that assert a medical judgment you are not the one to make.

Professional responsibility. Scope of practice is the live issue: an LNC analyzes and organizes the record and identifies where a physician opinion is required, rather than supplying that opinion. AI output does not change the boundary and makes it easier to cross without noticing. Everything leaving your desk carries your name, so verify at the tier of its eventual use rather than its current one.

Issues to raise, not answers. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, and none of this is legal advice.
