In the realm of healthcare, making informed decisions about potential medical negligence can be a complex and costly process. However, with the advent of MalpracticeCheck, a revolutionary online service, individuals now have an affordable and accessible solution to navigate this challenging terrain.

Based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, MalpracticeCheck operates its unique service for clients across the United States and Canada. The company's network of expert specialists covers all areas of medicine, ensuring clients receive a precise analysis and trustworthy opinion on their medical concerns.

MalpracticeCheck's service begins with a detailed phone interview followed by an analysis of submitted electronic documentation. The consumer receives a three-part, 20-30 page report detailing the analysis of potential malpractice. The report includes a breach in the expected medical Standard of Care, significant harm to the patient, strengths and weaknesses of the case, an interview transcript, and a detailed chronology of events.

Dr. Roger Hodkinson, CEO and Medical Director of MalpracticeCheck, believes there is a significant need for a Direct-to-Consumer medical negligence service. He emphasizes, "Medicine First, Law Second". This adage reflects MalpracticeCheck's mission to provide easy-to-understand, evidence-based reports on potential medical negligence, without requiring the involvement of a lawyer.

For those who don't wish to sue, MalpracticeCheck's online service aims to provide peace of mind and closure. However, the comprehensive reports also aid lawyers in deciding whether to take on a case. The service is at the forefront of a revolution in patient advocacy, setting a new standard through its innovative online service that is accessible, credible, and affordable.

The importance of MalpracticeCheck is underscored by the alarming statistics. In the United States, health care providers make avoidable errors in 3% to 15% of all medical interventions, according to the National Institutes of Health. In Canada, one in seventeen hospital stays involves at least one harmful event, with approximately 24,000 patients dying each year in Canadian hospitals due to medical errors.

Initially available only in Alberta, MalpracticeCheck's service is now expanding to provide access across Canada and the USA. This expansion reflects the company's commitment to making reliable medical opinions more accessible, regardless of location, due to the similarity of medical Standards of Care across North America.
