These databases can contain valuable information relevant to the legal theory of the case - from data elements one might expect such as volume of patients and cost of services to less obvious but still potentially useful records such as the dates and times of patient appointments or the severity of the injury. In this blog, we will discuss how RPC can analyze large and complex databases of medical and billing records.

Mapping For Health Planning and Certificate of Need

CON programs are used, in part, to correct health care market deficiencies.

Vocational Evaluations in Personal Injury Litigation

Lost earnings and lost earning capacity can be major elements of economic damages in personal injury litigation. Calculating these elements requires determining pre-injury and post-injury earnings and earning capacity. These determinations involve vocational and economic issues. If there are disputes whether the plaintiff can return to work at all, or to what job, or with what limitations or accommodations, a vocational evaluation by a qualified vocational expert can be essential to determine this element of damages.
