Brain injury cases

A mild TBI case is won or lost in the first 72 hours of the chart. Read them first.

Medrecords AI pulls every entry on consciousness, amnesia, GCS, imaging and symptom onset from the first days, then follows the injury through neurology and neuropsychology. Every entry links to its page. The diagnosis stays with the clinician.

Where brain injury cases turn

6 places the defense looks first. The chronology gets you there before they do.

The defense will say the CT was negative and the patient went home. The case is in what the chart recorded around that: small entries in the first days that nobody read together.

First 72 hours

Consciousness

Every entry on loss of consciousness, from EMS, the ED, family and later providers, quoted and dated.

LOC documented
First 72 hours

Amnesia

Repeated questions, gaps in memory, "doesn't recall the crash". Every sign of post-traumatic amnesia with its time.

amnesia sign
First 72 hours

GCS over time

Each Glasgow Coma Scale score with the time it was taken, so the 30-minute mark is on the page.

Months after

Symptom onset

The first note of each symptom: headache, light sensitivity, sleep, mood, memory. A symptom that shows up late is flagged with the date.

Imaging and testing

Every imaging study and neuropsychological test, with the findings and the validity measures quoted as written.

The records that never arrived

The raw neuropsych data, the MRI a neurologist ordered, the school or work records a note mentions. Listed with the page that points to each one.

How it works

Send the injury file. Get the chronology back.

What you send

  • EMS run sheets and emergency department records
  • Neurology, neuropsychology and therapy records
  • Imaging reports
  • School or work records if they are part of the case
  • Any format: PDFs, scans, faxes, phone photos

What you get

  • Every entry on consciousness, amnesia and GCS, with times
  • Symptom onset by symptom, with dates
  • A page-cited chronology from injury to current care
  • Every treatment gap over 30 days, with both dates
  • A list of records the file refers to but does not contain

We lay out the record. The clinician makes the diagnosis.

We assemble what the file documents against the published criteria, with pages. We do not diagnose a brain injury, read imaging, interpret test scores or say the event caused the deficits. Those belong to the treating clinicians and your experts.

HIPAA, under a signed BAAEvery file is handled under our Business Associate Agreement.
SOC 2Encryption in transit and at rest, and PHI access logging on every event.
Never trains a modelYour records never train any AI model, ours or anyone else’s.
Deleted on requestRetention is configurable and deletion is on request, with an audit log of every access.
Questions

Brain injury record review, answered.

Do you diagnose the brain injury?

No. We assemble and cite the evidence the published criteria call for: level of consciousness, post-traumatic amnesia, acute imaging, symptom onset and testing. Whether those facts meet the ACRM criteria is a clinical judgment for the examining or reviewing clinician.

Why does symptom onset get its own flag?

Because it is where mild TBI cases are attacked. A complaint first documented 6 weeks after the incident is a different evidentiary problem from one charted in the emergency department, and both sides will find it. Better that your expert finds it first, with the page attached.

Can you interpret the MRI?

No. We carry the radiologist’s report text with its date and page, and we do not read images or restate findings in our own words. Imaging interpretation belongs to a radiologist, and any competing reading belongs to a retained expert.

Do you retrieve records from providers?

No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities. You bring the records you already have, and review starts in minutes from upload. Retrieval vendors take days. You can keep yours and still cut the review to minutes.
