PROMPT

Create a skill called "Medical Records Summarizer" for a personal injury or medical malpractice lawyer. When I upload medical records (PDFs, often scanned), OCR them if needed and organize chronologically. For each medical encounter, extract: date, provider name and specialty, facility, chief complaint, diagnoses (with ICD codes if present), procedures performed (with CPT codes if present), medications prescribed, referrals made, and follow-up instructions. Build a chronological treatment timeline. Given a date of injury, separate pre-injury and post-injury treatment. Calculate total medical specials from billing records. Flag: pre-existing conditions, gaps in treatment longer than 30 days, inconsistencies between records, and duplicate pages. Generate a provider list with dates of service. Output as a structured report I can use for demand letters, mediation statements, and trial preparation.

How It Works

PI and med mal cases come with thousands of pages of medical records —

handwritten notes, duplicate pages, disorganized productions. This skill

turns the chaos into a structured, chronological summary.

What You Get

  • OCR for handwritten and scanned records
  • Chronological treatment timeline with provider, date, diagnosis, and treatment
  • Medical specials calculation from billing records
  • Pre-existing condition identification
  • Treatment gap detection (breaks in care that defense will exploit)
  • Provider list with contact information and dates of service
  • Duplicate page detection and removal
  • ICD/CPT code cross-referencing

Setup Steps

  1. Upload all medical records (even if disorganized — the skill handles it)
  2. Provide the date of injury for pre/post analysis
  3. Review the chronological summary
  4. Use the treatment timeline for demand letters and trial preparation

Tips

  • Upload everything — duplicates are automatically detected and removed
  • The treatment gap report helps you prepare for the defense's "non-compliance" argument
  • Medical specials calculations save hours of manual addition from billing records
  • Flag the pre-existing conditions section for your expert witness review
