In malpractice litigation, the EMR tells a deeper story. Comperio equips defense attorneys with objective, platform-specific analysis of audit trails, workflows, metadata, and provider activity — to assess exposure, prepare providers, and defend the record with technical certainty.

Why EMR Evidence Matters for the Defense

Today’s EMRs are highly complex systems — and plaintiffs are using metadata, access logs, and note edits to build aggressive claims. Without a true understanding of how the documentation was created and how the system works, you risk misinterpreting the facts — or worse, being caught off guard during deposition or trial.

We help defense teams stay ahead by revealing how the system functioned, what user activity occurred, and whether the chart supports your provider’s actions and timelines.

How We Help Defense Attorneys

We partner with defense firms of all sizes — from medical centers’ internal legal teams to outside trial counsel — to clarify digital documentation and strengthen the defense posture early.

Services include:

  • Audit Trail Review & User Timeline Reconstruction
    Identify exactly who accessed or changed the record and when — with clear, defensible reporting.
  • Documentation Workflow & EMR Functionality Interpretation
    Explain what’s normal, what’s expected, and what system limitations affect charting behavior.
  • Note Authorship & Edit Validation
    Confirm whether documentation is contemporaneous, edited, or consistent with clinical workflows.
  • Discovery Defense & Completeness Analysis
    Rebut incomplete production claims from opposing counsel by showing system limitations or access constraints.
  • Deposition Prep & Expert Reports
    Arm your expert or provider with detailed metadata explanations to avoid surprises during questioning.
  • Rebuttal Declarations & Motion Support
    Support summary judgment or motion to exclude with clear evidence of appropriate documentation activity.

Why Top Defense Counsel Trust Comperio

  • Confidential & Independent
    We work discreetly under NDAs. Our only objective is the truth supported by system data — not advocacy.
  • Real EMR Platform Experience
    We know Epic, Cerner, Meditech, and PointClickCare — not theoretically, but operationally. That distinction matters.
  • Deep Technical & Legal Insight
    We speak the language of audit logs and litigation. Our work helps bridge the gap between what the system did and what the court needs to understand.

Proven Strategic Support
We’ve helped shield providers from liability, rebut inflammatory claims, and demonstrate appropriate documentation behavior under pressure.
