Independent Medical Evaluations with CD-Rom

Area of Focus: General Orthopaedics and Practice Management

For the first time, a complete multimedia package enables you to conduct and document the IME with confidence and efficiency. These integrated resources prepare you for the specific examinations and for writing the IME report -- as well as the very unique language and protocols required for an independent medical evaluation and the presentation of expert testimony.

A collaborative team of orthopaedic surgeons and attorneys prepares you for the very different role you assume - and your relationship to key players. Distinct nuances of language are sharply defined throughout the text and supported with a detailed glossary. We¡?ve paid special attention to differentiate concerns specific to workers¡? compensation cases vs. personal injury litigation, including sample IME reports specific to each.

If you have extensive experience with the IME, the printable forms and abundant insights will enable you to fine-tune your techniques and streamline the IME report. Physicians new to the IME will understand the complete process and move through each step with confidence.

Sections include:
* Narrated videos demonstrate correct technique for 28 key tests
