Which report should you write for a birth injury case?
A birth injury file runs as Medical Malpractice in Medrecords AI, so it uses the Medical Malpractice reports. 3 start pre-selected: Medical Malpractice Record Review, Standard of Care Analysis and Causation Analysis. You can add others, such as a Damages Summary or a Life Care Plan. There is no report made only for birth injury.

The 3 pre-selected reports
| Report | What it covers | Sections |
|---|---|---|
| Medical Malpractice Record Review | The whole course of care | Records Reviewed; Summary of Care; Detailed Care Sequence; Results and Follow-up; Facts Identified for Expert Review; Body Systems and Conditions Involved; Damages Documentation; Medical Expenses (Billed Charges) |
| Standard of Care Analysis | What was ordered, done and charted | Records Reviewed; The Care at Issue; What Was Ordered; What Was Documented; Assessments and the Responses to Them; Communication and Escalation; Facts Identified for Expert Review |
| Causation Analysis | What the records say about how the harm came about | The Question Presented; Records Reviewed; The Mechanism as Described; Onset and Temporal Sequence; Findings Consistent with the Claimed Mechanism; Findings Inconsistent With It, or Pointing Elsewhere; What the Records Do Not Say; Provider Opinions on Causation |
For a birth injury file, the Detailed Care Sequence and Communication and Escalation sections are where labor events tend to show up. Check them against the facts you found in the analysis step.
