About
EMR forensics expert and forensic analyst
I'm a forensic EMR analyst who spent 15+ years inside enterprise healthcare IT before bringing that work to litigation. I know these systems from the administrator's chair — which is exactly why I know where their audit trails hide the truth.
Hospital-side, not just expert-side
My background is enterprise healthcare IT — the people who build, run, and audit these systems day to day. That work included time at Temple University Health System, where the scale and complexity of a major academic health system meant living inside EMR configuration, access controls, and audit reporting rather than reading about them in a manual.
That perspective is the difference. When a provider says an audit report “isn't available” or the data is “too burdensome” to produce, I've sat on the other side of that claim and know what the system can actually do. I evaluate the objection against the platform's documented capabilities, not against the assertion.
Certified in HIPAA privacy and security

The same audit-control requirements that govern how providers must protect and log access to electronic health information are the framework that makes audit trails discoverable — and I work in that framework on both sides.
Every major EMR
Medical records don't live in one system, and neither does my work. I analyze audit trails across every major platform, each of which logs, names, and exposes its audit data differently:
Structurally independent
I have no financial relationships with hospital systems or EMR vendors— no book of institutional business to protect and no conflicting relationship for opposing counsel to expose on cross. My methodology reports what the record actually shows, both the findings that support your theory of the case and the ones that don't. My focus is plaintiff-side litigation — med-mal, personal injury, and prosecution — but the analysis itself is not an advocacy exercise, and that candor is what makes the findings hold up in front of a judge.
Serving as an EMR expert witness
Beyond consulting analysis, I provide expert-witness support for plaintiff-side litigation — written findings, declarations and affidavits, and testimony explaining how audit-trail and metadata evidence establishes when records were created, edited, or deleted.

HIPAA-aware, nationwide
Engagements are handled with HIPAA privacy and security in mind, and a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is available where one is appropriate. I work with firms nationwide, remotely, on records from any jurisdiction.
