Key Features Tailored for IME Physicians
Work Flow Integration:
The current workflow for many evaluators is:
- Physician reviews medical documents, with optional pre-analysis by AI or another person.
- Examinee completes the questionnaire and forms, with variable compliance.
- Optionally, history obtained by a staff member or contractor with variable skills. If needed, an interviewer is involved.
- History performed by the physician, who takes notes and dictates a report. Alternatively, physicians may use a medical scribe (person or software) to obtain the history.
- Physician analyzes the information to understand the case, develops a timeline, drafts a list of diagnoses, identifies what documents should be reviewed, and determines how the physical examination should be performed.
- Physician performs the examination, reviews studies, and prepares the report.
