Comprehensive medical summary In a comprehensive
medical summary, the physician reviews the entire
set of medical records and captures events that
are relevant to the case, including important
points pertaining to the case. It is captured
chronologically with hot-linked bate numbers for
easy reference to the relevant records. In this
summary no relevant data is missed out, so the
reviewer gets a comprehensive summary that is
required for the case. Narrative
summary Narrative summary is usually done before
accepting a case. It gives a fair understanding
of whether the case is worth fighting for on not.
This summary is a gist of the entire medical
records, summarized in a page or two, so the
reviewer does not have to spend too much of time
in analyzing the value of a case. This summary
may not be captured chronologically nor would be
good enough to understand the timeline of events.
It may, however, have reference to the records,
so you know where it is coming from.
