ServiceStreams, LLC: Reliable Legal Nurse Consultants

Medical files can be challenging to read and interpret due to the extensive amounts of clinical data. At ServiceStreams, LLC, we will assist in helping you understand medical language and standards, which can facilitate your decision on the validity of your client’s claim.

About Me

As a professional Registered Nurse with clinical experience for more than 30 years in the field of obstetrics, I have the knowledge to help you review and translate medical files for your clients, as well as the expertise in determining standards of care. Additionally, working as a Clinical Case Manager and Clinical Chart Review Specialist allows me to provide assistance and skills needed for your client’s medical case.

At ServiceStreams, LLC, we work with you and your team, getting information, assessing and analyzing the case, discussing the issues at hand, and assisting and evaluating the problems and outcomes. Each case will be thoroughly supported by evidence-based practice examples, following the American Nurses Association (ANA), the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN), and the American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants (AALNC) Guidelines.
