SEAMLESS MEDICAL RECORDS RETRIEVAL BUNDLED WITH TRIALWORKS CASE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Streamlines Digitized Medical Record Management; Saves Time for Law Firms
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 13, 2007—MediConnect Global, Inc. today announced it has renewed its strategic partnership with Lawex Corporation, Miami, to provide automated medical records request and retrieval within TrialWorks™ Case Management Software.
The partnership integrates MediConnect’s RapidRetrieve online system for rapid retrieval of digitized medical records with all versions of TrialWorks Case Management Software in order to increase efficiency and save time for legal clients across the country.
“TrialWorks is all about expediting and improving efficiency in handling the tasks of litigation,” said Patrice Gimenez, Chief Operating Officer, of Lawex. “We put the legal file cabinet on the computer. The integration of RapidRetrieve automates the ordering, tracking, retrieving, and viewing of digitized medical records within TrialWorks.”
RapidRetrieve is easily accessed within the medical tab of TrialWorks and allows legal professionals to order client medical records with a few clicks of the mouse. Once available, the digitized medical records are automatically downloaded and emailed to the requestor.
“In all its forms, litigation is a complex orchestration of document gathering, dockets, interviews, and management,” said Adam Casto, EVP of Business Development for MediConnect Global. “TrialWorks allows legal professionals to keep their cases organized, automates many tasks including medical record retrieval, avoids tons of unnecessary paper, and efficiently manages the entire litigation process.”
Lopez McHugh LLP, a law firm specializing in mass torts, pharmaceutical, and medical device litigation has offices in California, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Since the firm must often order hundreds of medical records for a single case, they chose to use TrialWorks Case Management Software to make it easier to order records while managing all aspects of their cases. They also needed to become paperless so they could easily share case files among their three offices.
“TrialWorks makes it possible—everything can be saved within the program, including the medical records, emails, contacts, and all of our Microsoft Office documents related to a case,” said Marilyn Wass, Lopez McHugh paralegal. “If you’re doing it right you never have to open a paper file. Just being able to order medical records right in TrialWorks without re-entering the information in MediConnect’s online site is a huge time saver for us. TrialWorks automates the complete task of ordering medical records with MediConnect.”
RapidRetrieve is available at (www.mediconnect.net or www.mediconnect.net/sign_up.asp). TrialWorks is available at www.trialworks.com.
