- What
is a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant (CLNC)?
A
Certified Legal Nurse Consultant (CLNC) is a Registered Nurse
who uses specialized healthcare knowledge and expertise to
consult on medical-related cases.
Attorneys have come to rely on these specially trained
RNs when faced with cases where health, illness or injury
is an issue.
- Why
do Attorneys need CLNC’s?
While
the attorney is the expert on legal issues, the CLNC is the
expert on nursing, the health-care system and its inner workings.
A CLNC is trained to read medical records, and understand
the terminology and the subtleties of healthcare issues to
achieve the best results for the attorney and their client.
- What
is the role of the CLNC?
The
CLNC will apply her knowledge of medical, nursing and health-related
issues to cases to make the attorney's job easier, more efficient
and more effective.
The CLNC is a medical insider who knows the inner workings
of our complicated healthcare system firsthand and is qualified
to provide many services, some of which include reviewing
and interpreting relevant medical records, preparing chronologies,
screening medical-related cases, and assisting with discovery. |
