Beschreibung
This comprehensive book thoroughly addresses every aspect of Independent Medical Evaluations, an important part of many medical specialty disciplines where forensic opinions are needed by patients, physicians, insurers, and attorneys. Independent Medical Evaluation: A Practical Guide begins by defining the IME product and the IME evaluator themselves, explaining the medicolegal systems, and providing guidance towards establishing these professional services. Following this, the book describes how to best use medical records, and best-practices for taking an IME history and conducting an examination. The final few chapters cover developing an IME report, the common challenges and pitfalls encountered, with strategies and pearls shared to illustrate how to avoid them. Structured in a concise, practical format, this essential guide includes a large selection of sample models and templates, for additional teaching purposes.
The first of its kind, Independent MedicalEvaluation: A Practical Guide is a unique and ideal reference text for any physician working with IME’s, from the physician conducting their first exam, to the experienced physician alike.

“This book integrates the features of using medical records along with taking an IME history and conducting the examination. Somewhat within the practical aspects of this nexus, the author shares many of his experiences among a spectrum of cases stretching from adolescents through adult workers and even to patients of advanced years. … The author targets those who perform IMEs, from beginners to those more experienced. Expert witnesses also may find the book useful.” (J. Thomas Pierce, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2018)
