FAQ's
Question:
What is the difference between a Registered Nurse (RN) and a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant (CLNC)?
Answer:
A Certified Legal Nurse Consultant is a RN who, through extensive specialized training and competency testing has achieved certification from a National Association (NACLNC) as a Legal Nurse Consultant. The Certified Legal Nurse Consultant is capable of providing services to attorneys, insurance companies, and government agencies. The Certified Legal Nurse Consultant functions professionally and proficiently in the medical and legal fields.
Question:
My Law clerks/paralegals can do the library research for me. Why should I use a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant?
Answer:
That is exactly why you need the Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. The Certified Legal Nurse Consultant is a profitable addition to your legal team. Their clinical background and medical/legal nursing experience, knowledge of health care standards and medical-legal issues, when used for litigation result in cost savings and strengthening of cases. The Certified Legal Nurse Consultant's extensive medical experience is of great value not only for the medical case screening for merit, but throughout case development and preparation for trial.
Question:
Why should I use a Registered Nurse (RN) instead of a Medical Doctor (MD) to review my medical records?
Answer:
A Certified Legal Nurse Consultant is more cost effective because a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant is less expensive. The Certified Legal Nurse Consultant is experienced in reviewing ALL OF THE MEDICAL RECORD, while comparing it to the current Standard of Care, checking for signs of missing or tampered documents and identifying potential defendants. These skills add additional value to the product for the money you spend and increase cost savings.
