Analysis of diagnoses and treatment history
Evaluation of medical data, imaging, and clinical findings
Identification of relevant medical issues and contributing factors
Assessment of causation in relation to an injury or condition
Reviews may also involve chart review and comparison of findings across multiple providers or specialties.
