NARRATIVE SUMMARY
A Narrative Summary provides a clear, reader-friendly explanation of a patient’s medical history, treatment pathway, injuries, and clinical progress. It organizes every major medical event including diagnostics, consultations, therapy sessions, interventions, and physician assessments into a structured and chronological flow. This format gives attorneys, legal teams, and insurance professionals a complete yet simplified view of complex medical records that usually span hundreds or thousands of pages.
A well-crafted summary eliminates confusion often caused by fragmented charts, clinical abbreviations, and scattered medical data. It brings clarity to the most essential details of a case, presenting a streamlined account that strengthens decision-making throughout litigation, insurance review, and settlement preparation.
