What We Do in a Defense Medical Exam: The Nutris Difference

As the leading experts in the DME consultant industry, Nutris legal nurse consultants are the medical professionals you need at your client’s defense medical exam. 

What Is a Legal Nurse Consultant?

A legal nurse consultant is a registered nurse who uses existing expertise as a healthcare professional and specialized legal nurse training to attend, advocate, and consult on medical-related cases.

An LNC bridges the gap between the legal world and the medical world. While the attorney is the expert on legal issues, the LNC is the expert on nursing, the healthcare system, and its inner workings.

What Services Do They Provide?

Our team of specialists begin to work for you the moment you contact us. We work to schedule the perfect-fit nurse for your client’s defense medical exam and then the nurse begins to work with your client. This process includes:

• Client Preparation
  • From ensuring transportation and translators, and making sure the client knows what to expect and how to answer appropriately, our prep process is second to none.
• Advocacy
  • During the exam, our nurses are trained to not just simply be present but also to know what questions are allowed to be asked. Possibly most importantly, they are skilled at redirecting with tact so as not to shut down the exam.
• End-of-Visit Care
  • Each nurse knows that the DME doesn’t end after the doctor has left the room. They always ensure that the plaintiff has left the property before leaving themselves.
• Summary and Audio Recording
  • Not only do our nurses prepare a professional medical summary from the exam, they also work to prepare the plaintiff prior to the exam to ensure that the audio recording is as high quality as possible.

Why Are Nutris Nurses Different?

Nutris legal nurse consultants are not just medical experts, they are also assigned advocates for your client. Our legal nurse consultants are not only registered nurses, they have been trained using our proprietary process in order to capture as much relevant information as possible during the DME. Not only are they able to give a medical summary, they are skilled at knowing the important legal aspects of the exam and making notes accordingly. Each summary:

• is written by a healthcare professional
• includes an audio recording
• contains additional comments
