| bobstein's Full Review: Legal Med Ware |
Legal Med Ware has recently released version 2.0 and it is a winner! The software simplifies the process of medical legal review of medical records for the attorney, paralegal, and legal nurse consultant.
Legal Med Ware loads easily and runs glitch-free. There is a learning curve (about 4-6 hours) in learning how to use the software (not any different than any other software). The ability to export files allows the use of other programs to add "bells and whistles" to your reports. It assists in organizing the records and in the review process. It assists in preparing case chronologies (being able to sort by date, provider, etc. is terrific). Legal Med Ware has great layman's explanations of medical terms, conditions, lab results, and drugs with a good medical terms spell checker built in and a custom dictionary available.
To further improve on the usefulness of Legal Med Ware, I would love to see a full graphics package added. It would be nice to be able to import a graphic as well as the definition of a medical term when writing my reports.
I think that Legal Med Ware is a great product for anyone who does case reviews. It would be especially useful for Legal Nurse Consultants learning how to organize a report and how to "talk medicine" in layman's terms. Additionally, it would be quite helpful for attorneys and paralegals without a medical background in learning medical jargon and understanding the contents of the medical records.
