Every TRACE service is built to strengthen causation, expose breach, and support your litigation strategy from intake to verdict. 

Causation Mapping Expertise

NP-level causation modeling that identifies breakdowns in surveillance, escalation, communication, and clinical judgment. This analysis maps the clinical decision chain and identifies the precise points where the standard of care was abandoned.


When causation is unclear or contested, TRACE delivers the clinical intelligence your experts need to build a defensible theory. Every analysis is grounded in NP-level diagnostic reasoning and supported by the medical record.

Standards of Care Review

Guideline-anchored, evidence-based, specialty-specific evaluation of whether care met accepted clinical standards — interpreted through NP-level clinical judgment. This is not a checklist review. It is a substantive analysis of whether provider decisions aligned with what a reasonable clinician would have done under the same circumstances.


TRACE draws on current clinical guidelines, peer-reviewed literature, and NP-level expertise to identify deviations that support your plaintiff strategy.

Event Timeline Analysis

A precise, clinically accurate reconstruction of events that exposes delays, clinical deterioration, missed escalation, and documentation gaps. TRACE produces medical chronologies that go beyond listing events — they reveal the clinical significance of each entry, omission, and gap in the record.


Timeline Forensics is particularly valuable in cases where the defense will argue the patient's deterioration was expected or inevitable. TRACE shows what the record actually demonstrates.

IME Rebuttal Analysis

Objective, evidence-based NP analysis that identifies omissions, inaccuracies, and unsupported conclusions in defense independent medical examinations. Defense IMEs are not independent — they are advocacy documents. TRACE reads them that way and arms your firm with the clinical analysis needed to rebut them effectively.


TRACE provides structured rebuttal analysis that prepares your attorneys and experts to challenge defense IME opinions at deposition and trial.

Behavioral Health Insights

Advanced NP-level analysis of psychiatric, substance use, and dual-diagnosis cases with the depth of insight that only board-certified psychiatric-mental health expertise can provide. As a PMHNP-BC, Sabrina brings a rare analytical lens to behavioral health malpractice — one that few legal nurse consultants can replicate.


These cases are complex, stigmatized, and often undervalued. TRACE gives plaintiff firms the clinical intelligence to evaluate them accurately and pursue them strategically.

Case Viability Review

A fast, structured NP-level review to determine case viability, identify red flags, and assess litigation potential before your firm invests in full record review. TRACE delivers honest, clinically grounded assessments — including cases where the record does not support a viable claim.


For firms managing high intake volume, this service provides the clinical filter that protects your resources and focuses your docket.
