Founder and CEO, Co-ordinator of Consulting Services, Mentor and Lead APRN
Discovery NP Legal Consultants is a nationwide fully remote medical and nursing consulting Firm providing non-testifying behind-the-scenes collaborative consultation services to medical malpractice attorneys who take cases for the plaintiff. Our 100% US-based licensed and certified nurse practitioners and advanced practice registered nurses are a talented and clinically-diverse team. Did you know advanced practice registered nurses have on average 2-4 more years of formal education and academia than your average RN legal nurse consultant? Our Masters- or Doctorate-prepared practicing clinicians provide insight into your medical malpractice case that can only come from someone who has worked in the trenches in the hospital setting, and who can read between the lines because they are intimately familiar with the standards of care for all roles, including that of a provider. Nurse practitioners are providers, and clinically are peers with physicians, in many states functioning entirely independent of physicians! We offer an analysis of your case with the perspective of a physician-like provider, but with the detail-orientation and medical-record savviness of a nurse--oh and at the hourly rates of a nurse... not a doctor. We can save your Firm thousands of dollars on the back end by pre-packaging your case for review by your experts (whom we can also help you locate), so that they can be efficient with their precious time (and your precious money). Because your assigned Team Lead is a nurse, she will be able to locate relevant information many times faster than a paralegal. As she is a specialist, she will be able to analyze the relevance of information and appropriateness of the healthcare team's actions in the case far more efficiently than your in-house registered nurse whose experience is generalized. As a provider, she will be able to provide legitimate opinion on the actions of other providers like physicians that an RN can't.
