Ms. Girsch-Bock describes some of the new features of version2.0 including the ability to attach scanned medical records to a file, the Medical Treatment Notes dialog for entering attorney/staff notes, summarized treatment plans or expert/nurse practicioner notes. She goes on to mention that CaseWORTH’s design allows you to enter as much — or as little — information as needed for an individual case. She also notes the ability to sort the medical treatment summary report chronologically and the addition, in 2.0 of timed saves.
The reviewer praises CaseWORTH’s easy to navigate user interface. She also mentions it’s use of colorful buttons to access the separate data entry and analysis sections of the program. She says “CaseWorth is easy to use with an intuitive interface.”
A more detailed rundown of using the “Case Evaluation Wizard” follows. The reviewer then explains how you can enter Claimant Info, Medical Expenses, Liens, Subrogation Payments, Firm Expenses into CaseWORTH. She then describes the “Economist Wizard” and and how it allows you to determine the value of future losses and medical expenses and reduce them to present value. The Math Worksheet that displays the calculations of the data entered is mentioned as well as the Settlement Calculator that shows both the actual totals and allows for “what-if” scenario adjustments to assist in gaining a more favorable settlement.
CaseWORTH’s instructional videos are mentioned including one that show how to enter an entire (simple) client file in fifteen minutes. It is noted that more complex cases will, of course, take longer but CaseWORTH’s design “takes much of the complexity out of entering this information”.
Ms. Girsch-Bock says “You can produce excellent reports in CaseWORTH 2.0″. She features the Damage Package Report and it’s included Damage Summary, noting the Damage Summary is a recap of information entered into the program including expense list, past and future earnings and miscellaneous expenses. She also notes the Damage Package Report details other damages such as future medical expenses and future earnings loss. The Settlement Statement is also described as a breakdown of the disbursement of the settlement and the Medical Treatment Summary as a breakdown of treatments, CPT and ICD-9 codes as well as amounts billed.
