488 Working with Expert Witnesses: An Attorney’s View Joe Flores

  • 611 Mary Beth Kerstein on Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses by Patricia Iyer MSN RN LNCC

    In this podcast episode, we explore Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses. Creating chronologies that have multi-purpose functions in a range of cases is one of the services attorneys are most likely to request. Today we have an expert in this area, Mary Beth Kerstein, who will share with you what she’s learned about this important service.

    Attorneys lack both the time and medical expertise to prepare a chronology, and it’s not a job that can be handed off to a paralegal. This is where LNCs can prove their value.

    Mary Beth addresses a number of practical issues. Since all records don’t arrive at the same time, you need to find a way to indicate new information for the attorney’s benefit. She details how to do this.

    The biggest issue is deciding what information is pertinent for a chronology. As this will also determine the length and number of billing hours required, she recommends that you ask the attorney what he or she wants. You can also provide samples of chronologies you’ve done.

    She emphasizes that the chronology should be opinion-free. Expert witnesses, opposing attorneys, and other parties may see this. If the attorney wants it, you can provide your opinion about the case in a separate email.

    You can also offer to provide additional services, like a list of providers or a medical glossary.

    You will find the content of this podcast to be an invaluable resource to help you excel in this highly requested service.

    Here’s What to Expect from the Podcast: Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses – Mary Beth Kerstein

    • How does an attorney benefit from having an LNC prepare a chronology?
    • How do you organize a chronology where multiple providers are involved?
    • How do you discern what’s important to put into a chronology?
    • Should chronologies be opinion-free?
    • What are invisible injuries?

  • 601 Build Your LNC Writing Skills: How to Succeed – Pat Iyer by Patricia Iyer MSN RN LNCC
    Pat Iyer

    In this podcast episode, Pat shares how to build your LNC writing skills and succeed. She is a proficient and prolific writer, having written 68 books, with several more on the way. Although she always paid close attention to her own writing skills, it took an angry phone call from a client about an expert witness report by one of her subcontractors to make her realize that accuracy was key to her success.

    And it’s key to your own success. Whether you write a report, a blog post, newsletter, or promotional letter, your writing skills need to be the best they can be. They say who you are. They speak to your expertise on all levels. They establish you as a professional.

    Pat has noticed as a writing coach to LNCs that a big issue that stops them is lack of self-confidence. One way to overcome this is to realize that it isn’t difficult to learn certain basic principles of writing: simplicity, brevity, and accuracy. These qualities alone will raise your writing to a higher-than-average level, and that will give you greater self-confidence.

    This episode will provide a valuable outline to help you develop your writing skills. You’ll  want to save it for regular review.

    Here’s What to Expect from the Podcast: Build Your LNC Writing Skills: How to Succeed

    • How important are writing skills to an LNC?
    • How can correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling affect an attorney’s opinion of your skills?
    • What are some of the promotional writing methods an LNC uses?
    • Why is improving your self-confidence as a writer so important?
    • What does Warren Buffett say about writing skills?
