Personal injury, product liability and other cases depend on data discovered in medical records, but clinics can be slow, legal staff time is expensive and big files must be organized and indexed. Now medical records can be quickly secured, summarized and searched thanks to EMSI’s integration with the Needles® and TrialWorks case management systems. Thousands of attorneys using Needles and TrialWorks can get medical records and indexed summaries essential for building solid cases and winning civil litigation.

“EMSI’s professionals are expert at retrieving medical records for law firms involved in mass tort, medical malpractice and personal injury cases. Our streamlined workflow and digital summary will help attorneys get essential data, identify key evidence and better prepare for depositions,” said James D. Calver, President and CEO of EMSI.

After a simple account setup with EMSI, a user can now request a medical record in Needles or TrialWorks with one click. EMSI gets records faster because the special authorizations required by many clinics are automatically accessed when each order is received, reducing the time it takes to receive a record by as much as 40 percent.

“Law firms are challenged to free their staff and paralegals to focus on more important, higher value tasks. Our integration with EMSI means legal staff can be redirected to higher value work. Needles and TrialWorks users can cut practice overhead by billing medical record retrieval costs to clients,” said Giorgio Garrido, Director of Business Development and Head of Strategic Partnerships for TrialWorks LLC.

EMSI has optimized its medical records retrieval process to be faster than in-house legal staff and offer quick turnarounds. EMSI’s U.S.-based team retrieves millions of records each year, documenting and updating the approval processes followed by over 800,000 clinics and healthcare providers.
