# Catastrophic Injury Life Care Foundation > Record foundations for life care plans in catastrophic injury cases: diagnoses, current care and every provider recommendation, page-cited for the planner. Canonical page: https://medrecords.ai/solutions/catastrophic-injury-life-care-foundation/ --- New — **Missing Records Detection:** flags every visit, provider, and date missing from the file.

Catastrophic injury life care foundation services abstract the medical record a life care plan is built from: diagnoses, functional status, equipment in use, and every future-care recommendation a treating provider actually wrote, each cited to its page. The planner decides what enters the plan and at what frequency.

So does the courtroom it ends in. 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. In catastrophic injury life care planning, both are already published. The standard and the referee The rulebook - The International Academy of Life Care Planners Standards of Practice for Life Care Planners, which require that every plan item be supported by the medical record or by a treating provider’s recommendation - The published Life Care Planning consensus and majority statements, which set out what the field agrees a defensible methodology looks like - Fed. R. Evid. 702 as amended in December 2023, under which a plan is admissible only if the method is reliably applied to the facts of this case - The CMS Workers’ Compensation Medicare Set-Aside Reference Guide, wherever Medicare’s interest attaches to the same future care The referee - The trial court at a Rule 702 hearing, which excludes plan items that no record entry or treating recommendation supports - The opposing life care planner, whose rebuttal works item by item against the same chart - The economist who reduces the plan to present value, and who cannot defend a line the record does not carry A six-figure plan line struck because no record entry supported it From 10¢ to as low as 5¢/page here, duplicates free Record foundation · Case #IME-4812 cited 100% Packet — 342 pp / 2 packets · 11 deduplicated — logged Provider recommendations — Extracted verbatim with date and author — cited Current equipment and care — Listed as the record documents it — cited Unsupported plan items — Care with no recommendation on file — flagged Foundation delivered · cited 100% · no plan authored How it works ### 3 steps between the chart and the plan. 01 #### Send the whole treatment record Acute care, rehabilitation, therapy notes, durable medical equipment orders, home health records and physician correspondence, in any format. 02 #### We return the foundation, page-cited Diagnoses, functional status over time, equipment in use, and every future-care recommendation a provider wrote, each with its date, author and page. 03 #### The planner builds the plan They set the items, the frequencies, the durations and the costs, and they sign it. The foundation is the record their plan cites back to. The boundary, in writing ### A foundation for the plan, not the plan. We abstract and cite what the record documents. We do not author a life care plan, set frequencies or durations, price care items, project life expectancy, or opine on future medical need. Those are the planner’s professional judgments, made under their own credential and their own standards of practice. In the demo case, page 140 turned out to belong to a different patient. A plan item traced back to that page would not survive cross-examination, so the foundation quarantines it rather than carrying it forward.

[ #### Medical Records OCR Every page of a multi-thousand-page catastrophic file read in full: acute charts, rehab notes, equipment orders, handwritten therapy flowsheets. IN ACTION · 342 pp / 2 packets, read in full ](https://medrecords.ai/product/ocr/) [ #### Medical Chronology Functional status assembles itself over time, so the planner sees the trajectory rather than a snapshot. IN ACTION · admission → current function, one timeline ](https://medrecords.ai/product/chronology/) [ #### Verifiable AI Citations Every recommendation is quoted with its author, its date and its page, so the plan can cite back to a provider rather than to a planner’s memory. IN ACTION · recommendations → cited 100% ](https://medrecords.ai/product/citations/) [ #### Medical Summary Reports The foundation exports into the planner’s own template and appendix format. IN ACTION · foundation → plan appendix ](https://medrecords.ai/product/summaries/) [ #### 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 ](https://medrecords.ai/product/medical-record-deduplication/) [ #### 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 ](https://medrecords.ai/product/missing-records-identification/) [ #### Cross-Exam Simulator A board investigator or defense counsel builds a case from the chart abstraction. This 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. IN ACTION · prescribing pattern → likely hearing questions mapped ](https://medrecords.ai/product/cross-exam-simulator/) FAQ ### Life care plan foundations, answered. No. A life care plan is a credentialed professional’s work product, signed under their own standards of practice. We give the planner the cited record underneath it: diagnoses, current care, and every future-care recommendation a provider actually wrote, each linked to its page. The usual attack is that a plan item has no support in the chart. A foundation that quotes each recommendation with its author, date and page lets the planner answer that item by item, and it flags in advance the items no record entry supports. No, and deliberately so. Costing and life expectancy are opinions with their own methodologies and their own experts. We stay on the record side: what was documented, by whom, on what date, on what page. 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.
