In EVERY profession, there’re challenges. It takes a little determination and stick-to-it-ive-ness to overcome them and you’ll succeed!
What are the top three challenges a Professional Legal Nurse Consultant (PLNC) faces? Let’s talk about these top three challenges you might confront. The good news is – you can conquer them. Let’s look at how:
1. How to Decide What’s Important in the Medical Records: Medical records are largely electronic. When wading through volumes of Electronic Health Records (EHR), lots of aspects can seem important. That’s why doing a quick read of all the EHRs is valuable. Then, go back and highlight the most important parts. On the second read, it’s easier to decipher the clinically relevant from the irrelevant.
2. The Best Method to Approach Attorneys You Already Know: Email first and follow up with a phone call! Almost every attorney has their email coming directly to their mobile phones. No more having to go through their secretary first. What better time in life than now when you can directly connect with the attorney without talking with the gatekeeper first! Be SURE you follow up with a phone call. That personal touch is still critical.
3. Know There’s Plenty of Work Out There: We’re entering a time of a deluge of lawsuits. Coronavirus has helped this. It can work to your favor. That’s why you want to be certified as a Professional Legal Nurse Consultant. Who should be reviewing these medical records in lawsuits? YOU!!
Whether you’re new to the Professional Legal Nurse Consulting field, or a seasoned PLNC, you’ve probably encountered these challenges. Know that you CAN and WILL meet them head on and PREVAIL! It’s up to you.
