# Medical Examiner Case Record Review > Decedent history synthesis for medical examiner and coroner offices — prior treatment, medications and social history, page-cited for cause and manner work. Canonical page: https://medrecords.ai/solutions/medical-examiner-case-record-review/ --- [Home](https://medrecords.ai/) ›[Solutions](https://medrecords.ai/solutions/) ›Medical Examiner Case Review MEDICAL EXAMINER CASE RECORD REVIEW ## The decedent's history, read before the certification. Medical examiner case record review services synthesize a decedent's prior medical history into a page-cited summary: chronic conditions, recent encounters, prescribed medications, and documented social history. The pathologist certifying cause and manner reads a built history rather than an unsorted stack of hospital and pharmacy records.

So is the office that signs it. 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 death investigation, both are already published. The standard and the referee The rulebook - The US Standard Certificate of Death and the CDC/NCHS cause-of-death certification guidance, which define the causal sequence and the manner categories - The National Association of Medical Examiners autopsy performance standards, which set what a competent death investigation documents - The NVDRS coding manual, where a violent death is abstracted to the national data dictionary - The state statute defining which deaths fall under the office's jurisdiction The referee - The certifying pathologist, whose signature carries the cause and manner determination - The state vital records office, which rejects or queries an incomplete or internally inconsistent certificate - The court, where a manner determination is contested in civil or criminal proceedings Pathologist hours spent sorting hospital records instead of reading them Flat 10¢/page here, duplicates free History synthesis · Case #IME-4812 cited 100% Packet342 pp / 2 packets · 11 deduplicatedlogged Chronic conditionsOrdered by first documentationcited Recent encountersLast 12 months, with dispositioncited MedicationsReconciled across dispensing recordsflagged Synthesis delivered · cited 100% · no cause or manner opinion How it works ### 3 steps between the records and the certificate. 01 #### Send the record set Hospital records, clinic notes, pharmacy dispensing history, EMS run sheets, and prior imaging, in any format and any order. 02 #### We return the synthesis, page-cited A structured history: conditions with first and last documentation, recent encounters, the medication picture, and documented social history, each line citing its page. 03 #### The pathologist certifies Cause, manner, and the causal sequence on the certificate are the certifying pathologist's determination, made with the autopsy and scene findings in hand. The boundary, in writing ### A history synthesis, never a cause or manner determination. We synthesize and cite what the prior record documents. We do not state a cause of death, propose a causal sequence, classify manner, or interpret autopsy or toxicology findings. Certification is the pathologist's act, and nothing we produce substitutes for the examination. In the demo case, page 140 turned out to belong to a different patient. The synthesis flags it and quarantines it in its own line, rather than folding another person's history into a decedent's file.

No. Cause, manner, and the causal sequence are the certifying pathologist's determination, made with autopsy, scene, and toxicology findings. We synthesize and cite the decedent's prior medical history so that determination is made with the record in hand rather than around it. We can present the history in the structure the NVDRS data dictionary asks for, with each element cited to its source page. The abstractor still reviews and enters the record; we don't submit to the system or code a decision element on the office's behalf. No. We carry toxicology and laboratory results with their dates and values, cited to the report they appear in. Interpreting what a level means in the context of a death is a forensic pathology judgment, and it stays with the pathologist. 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 1 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.
