IME report drafting software produces the independent medical examiner's own report draft from exam findings and the case record — jurisdiction-formatted, cited, and ready for the examiner's review before the exam notes go cold.

The report remains the examiner's own work product and signature — the software never authors a medical opinion.

An independent medical examination report isn't one document — it's a different structure per state, carrier, and referral source. The IME documentation software loads the format the report must follow and fills it: the fixture case populates 38 fields of the examiner's own template, headings included. State WC formats, carrier structures, or your own template Opinion sections stay blank — reserved for the examiner Template picker Your clinic's IME template 38 fields · selected State workers' comp format available Carrier-specified structure available The draft lands in the structure the referral demands — no reformatting pass. Dictation → draft Exam dictation 14 min · 2,140 words Examination — right knee placed · §4 Range of motion measurements placed · §4.2 Records reviewed — 342 pages placed · §3 ### Dictate the exam. The draft assembles itself. The IME report generator pairs with [AI Medical Dictation Transcription](https://medrecords.ai/product/ai-medical-dictation-transcription/) : a 14-minute dictation becomes about 2,140 words, and each finding lands in the right section of the report — examination, history, records reviewed. The examiner talks through the exam once; the structure handles itself. Findings routed to the correct report sections automatically Record facts pre-filled from the processed 342-page file ### The Custom Report Builder engine, in exam clothes. No secret second pipeline: IME report drafting is built on the same engine as [Custom Report Builder](https://medrecords.ai/product/custom-report-builder/) , loaded with IME-specific report structures and a second input — the examiner's dictated findings alongside the case record. Same template mechanics, same citation discipline, one specialized job. 2 inputs, one engine Case record 342 pages, processed & cited Exam findings Dictated by the examiner Custom Report Builder engine IME templates · dual citations Draft report — for the examiner's review unsigned The hard line ### The examiner signs. The software never does. The draft assembles history, records summary, and documented findings — with every statement dual-cited to a record page or a dictation passage. Opinions, conclusions, and causation are left to the examiner, who reviews, edits, and signs. The result is legally defensible precisely because the work product stays the examiner's own.

The software serves the people who own the report. [ IME physicians & organizations More exams per week without the evening template-filling — the draft is waiting when the exam ends, and the opinion stays yours. For evaluators ](https://medrecords.ai/solutions/medical-evaluators/) [ Law firms working with examiners Faster turnaround on defensible, dual-cited reports from the examiners you refer to — with the record already processed and citable. For law firms ](https://medrecords.ai/solutions/law-firms/) FAQ ### IME report drafting, answered. Yes. Load a state workers' comp format, a carrier-specified structure, or your own template — the software fills whichever structure the report must follow. In the Adams fixture case, that's 38 template fields populated into the examiner's own format, headings and all. Dictate during or right after the exam. The transcription engine converts the audio — a 14-minute dictation becomes roughly 2,140 words — and the drafting engine places each finding into the correct report section: history, examination, review of records. You never copy-paste from a transcript into a template again. No, and this is a hard line. Opinions, conclusions, and causation determinations belong to the examiner. The software assembles the history, the records summary, and the documented findings into the report structure; the examiner writes the opinion sections, reviews everything, edits, and signs. The report remains the examiner's own work product. No — it's built on the same engine as Custom Report Builder, loaded with IME-specific templates. Same template mechanics, same citation discipline; the specialization is the report structures and the dual-source drafting from exam findings plus case record. Every drafted statement traces to one of 2 sources: a page in the case record or a passage in the examiner's own dictated findings. Record facts cite the record; exam facts cite the dictation. When the examiner reviews the draft, each line shows exactly where it came from — nothing arrives unsourced. ### Related capabilities. The report is the last mile — here's what feeds it.
