ASYLUM MEDICAL EVALUATION RECORD REVIEW

## Consistency is graded on five words. The record has to carry the one you pick.

Asylum medical evaluation record review services organize the client’s medical and psychological history into a cited timeline before the forensic evaluation: every documented injury, treatment contact and mental health encounter, with dates and pages. The consistency finding stays with the evaluating clinician.

### The Istanbul Protocol is the published method, and it names its own vocabulary.

We do not build for a case type until we can name the standard that defines a correct output and the person who grades the file against it. For forensic asylum evaluations the method is a UN manual and the referee is the officer or judge who weighs the affidavit against the declaration.

The standard and the referee
The rulebook
- The Istanbul Protocol, 2022 edition, the UN manual on the effective investigation and documentation of torture, which fixes how physical and psychological findings are described
- The Istanbul Protocol’s own consistency terminology, from not consistent through consistent, highly consistent, typical and diagnostic, which is the vocabulary the affidavit has to use
- 8 CFR §208.13 and §1208.13, which place the burden on the applicant and make corroborating evidence part of carrying it
- 8 U.S.C. §1158(b)(1)(B)(ii) and (iii), the corroboration and credibility provisions that make a medical evaluation evidence rather than commentary

The referee
- The USCIS asylum officer, who weighs the medical affidavit against the declaration in the affirmative interview
- The immigration judge at EOIR, and on appeal the Board of Immigration Appeals, which measure the affidavit against the statutory corroboration standard
- The evaluating clinician, who signs the affidavit and is the only person who can state the consistency finding

How it works

### 3 steps between the client file and the timeline.

01

#### Send the client file

Records from the country of origin, transit and US care, hospital and clinic notes, mental health records, photographs and any prior evaluation, in any format and any language you have them in.

02

#### We return the timeline, page-cited

Every documented injury and treatment contact in sequence, every mental health encounter, and the periods where no record exists, marked as gaps rather than filled.

03

#### The clinician evaluates

The examination, the consistency finding and the affidavit are the clinician’s, made on their own judgment under the Istanbul Protocol.

The boundary, in writing

### A timeline of the record, not a consistency finding.

We assemble and cite the documentary history the evaluation rests on. We do not examine the client, state that a finding is consistent with the alleged events, assess credibility, or sign an affidavit. Those are the evaluating clinician’s under the Istanbul Protocol.

In the demo case, page 140 turned out to belong to a different patient. In an asylum file that error attaches another person’s injury to this client’s account, so it is quarantined rather than folded quietly into the history.

#### HIPAA, under a signed BAA

Every file is handled under our Business Associate Agreement, from the first byte.

#### Never trains a model

Your records are never used to train any AI model — ours or anyone else's.

#### Every line cited

If we can't cite it, we don't say it. Every sentence links to its source page.

#### Deleted after delivery

Files are deleted 30 days after delivery, with a full audit log of every access.

Powered by the platform

### 7 capabilities behind every evaluation timeline.

The evaluation timeline is one deliverable of the same platform that reads, sorts, and cites the whole record.

#### Medical Records OCR

Every page read in full, including records from outside the US health system.

#### Medical Chronology

Scattered contacts across countries and years assemble from their own dates into one sequence.

IN ACTION · first documented contact → current treatment, one continuous timeline

#### Verifiable AI Citations

Every entry links back to its page, so the affidavit can cite the record rather than paraphrase it.

 [

#### Medical Record Deduplication

Forty charts pulled from multiple practices and EHR migrations carry their share of duplicate visit notes. Each is matched and collapsed to one canonical record, so the prescribing pattern is read once per real encounter.

IN ACTION · 40 charts → duplicate visit notes collapsed to 1 record each

 [

#### Missing Records Identification

A prescribing pattern read across 40 charts is only as sound as the file behind it. When a chart references a visit, refill, or referral that never made it into the production, the gap is flagged before the pattern goes to the board.

IN ACTION · prescribing pattern cross-checked → gaps flagged before submission

#### Cross-Exam Simulator (beta)

A board investigator or defense counsel builds a case from the chart abstraction. This beta tool maps the questioning a physician facing that hearing is likely to face on the gaps and pattern in their own record. A rehearsal tool, not legal advice.

FAQ

### Asylum medical evaluation record review, answered.

No. The Istanbul Protocol reserves that judgment for the evaluating clinician, who examines the client and grades findings against the alleged events. We build the cited documentary timeline the clinician reads before the examination.

They are read and placed on the timeline with the original page cited, so the clinician and counsel can see exactly what the source document says and where. We do not certify translations.

Marked as gaps with the dates they cover. Missing documentation is common and expected in these files, and the Protocol contemplates it. An absence reported honestly is far stronger than a timeline that reads as if it were complete.

No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities. You bring the records you already have — review starts in minutes from upload. Retrieval vendors take days; you can keep yours and still cut the review to minutes.

### Send one file. We'll tell you what we can read.

No obligation. If the case type is buildable we'll scope it; if it isn't, we'll say so.
