Day 1

The 4 Ds: Drinking, Drugging, and Driving = Disaster

By Barbara Levin BSN RN CMSRN ONC LNCC, and David Benjamin PhD

With the increase in drug and alcohol use in the country, and decriminalization of DUI/marijuana, there is more tolerance of these drugs and fewer penalties. Drinking, drugging, and driving leads to motor vehicle accidents and to cases that require the skills of toxicologists and LNCs.

How do legal nurse consultants interpret all of the data?
How can LNCs help?

Help us solve the puzzle of a case scenario. You are the detective - what information do you need?

Those Difficult People: Getting Control

By Jan Spence BA CSP

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we lived in a world where everyone does what they are supposed to do, when they are supposed to do, and the way WE want it done? Unfortunately, that is rarely a reality, especially in today’s dynamic, fast-paced world. Vendors who over-promise and under-deliver, physicians and attorneys who don’t return phone calls, and colleagues that don’t follow through can leave even the most patient legal nurse consultant disappointed and frustrated.

In this high-impact, interactive session, Jan Spence will share the warning signs you are dealing with a “difficult” person and provide a different approach to making your interactions more meaningful and successful. Participants will leave with immediate, actionable tools they can use to set boundaries, maintain a more positive outlook, and ultimately be more productive when faced with challenging individuals.

It is time for you to get known, get found, and get paid like never before.

Day 2

Visualizing the Case: Simplifying Medical Complexities

By Breanna Bunnell

The presentation will detail the three reasons medical visuals are most commonly used to win personal injury and medical malpractice cases. Specific case studies will be examined to show how liability is established, damages are built, and medical complexities are simplified. Attendees can expect to learn how expertise and reports from legal nurse consultants are frequently used in the preparation of visuals and how they can educate attorneys about the importance of visuals to maximize case values.

How to Prove Damages

By Samuel Davis Esq

How do you prove the extent of a plaintiff’s injuries? Each side of the case has a different agenda. The plaintiff attorney wants to invest resources in demonstrating the permanence and impact of the trauma. These cases will be the big winners. The defense wants to disprove causation and the extent of the harm to minimize payments.

What makes a case valuable for either side and how does the legal nurse consultant help the attorney prove or dispute damages?

Was There Pain and Suffering?

By Peter Salgo MD

What exactly is pain and suffering? Can a plaintiff testify about pain and suffering? Most attorneys and experts know the quality of explanations is high when a physician or nursing expert gets involved. What does a physician look for in the medical records to establish if there was pain and suffering? How is that the same or different from how an LNC evaluates the medical records? In this fast-paced interview, Dr. Salgo will pull back the curtain on this hot topic.

Day 3

The Role of the LNC in Defense Cases

By Kari Williamson

What happens in litigated claims when the LNC works with the claims adjuster and defense counsel? Because litigated claims often involve complex medical issues and complicated injury information, the LNC's role is to provide the defense team with a deeper analysis and understanding of the injury data points and how they work strategically in the case.

While the LNC's work product will vary, e.g., a chronology or timeline, or information to assist with a line of questioning, all roads lead to the Mechanism of Injury (MOI). Analysis of the medical data points and how they do, or do not align with the MOI is a crucial part of the defense work up. This presentation will take a deep dive into MOI and how a sound analysis will help build a strong defense case.

Electronic Records: Mining for Data

By Diane Tomacelli RN BSN

This program gives you the tricks of the trade for electronic records, common IT terminology, and key factors to review.

Reviewing a printed version of an electronic chart may or may not show exactly what the provider or clinician documented in the chart. Did the charting go directly into the software or was it a report scanned in from another system? Paying close attention to small printed items or “stamped” items on the printed pages can give guidance on an interfacing system to request data from. Identifying the correct terminology of what you are requesting to review can be crucial in your success of getting what you need.

You're in great hands with Pat Iyer and Barbara Levin. They are the most experienced LNC conference producers in the world. Pat is the leading provider of LNC business training.
