At Heninger Garrison Davis, continuous learning is part of the culture. That’s why we were honored to welcome Gianna Mandich of Southern Med Law for a recent Lunch & Learn session focused on a critical topic in modern litigation: Electronic Medical Records (EMR).
In a session attended by both attorneys and support staff, Gianna provided a deep dive into the structure, significance, and legal implications of EMR systems—offering both a technical and strategic view of how these records play a pivotal role in personal injury and medical malpractice cases.
Key Topics Covered:
- Understanding EMR Architecture: Gianna broke down how EMRs are built, stored, and accessed, helping our team better identify discrepancies and missing data in medical documentation.
- What’s Missing Is Just as Important as What’s There: One of the standout takeaways was the importance of spotting what’s not in the record—hidden edits, metadata, and missing chart entries that may impact case strategy.
- Common Pitfalls in EMR Discovery: She outlined frequent challenges attorneys face when requesting and reviewing EMRs and shared tips on how to work with expert consultants to navigate them.
- Litigation Strategy: Gianna’s presentation emphasized how EMR insights can shape depositions, cross-examinations, and ultimately, outcomes for our clients.
Why It Matters
In a firm that’s committed to delivering excellence, sessions like these enhance our ability to anticipate challenges, ask the right questions, and push for complete transparency in discovery. EMR evidence can be complex—but with the right knowledge, it can be a powerful tool for uncovering the full truth in a case.
A huge thank you to Gianna Mandich for sharing her time and expertise with our team. We’re grateful for the partnership and for the opportunity to keep sharpening our skills in pursuit of justice for every client we serve.
