Medico-Legal Reporting

Lighthouse Health Group has direct access to a large range of highly qualified allied health professionals who are experienced and immediately available to comprehensively assess your client and report on their current and future treatment needs for medico-legal purposes.

In addition to the ability of our consultants to produce high quality and comprehensive medico-legal reports, each of our consultants continue to actively case manage people with disabilities in both the hospital and community setting and use an ‘evidence-based’ or ‘best practice’ approach to support their treatment recommendations.

We specialise in the following six areas of rehabilitation practice:

1. Paediatrics
   
   
2. Spinal Injuries (including those who remain ventilator-dependent)
   
   
3. Cerebral Palsy
   
   
4. Severe Brain Injury
   
   
5. Spina Bifida
   
   
6. Burns

Based on our close involvement with leading law firms and insurance providers, Lighthouse Health Group has identified the need for the production of a comprehensive Personal Care, Equipment and Services Report to accurately identify and provide costings for nursing care requirements and specialised medical equipment. This report specifically addresses:

• Disposable Medical Equipment
  
  
• Nursing Care Requirements
  
  
• Gratuitous Care
  
  
• Occupational Health and Safety
  
  
• Pharmacological Supplies
  
  
• Sexuality and Fertility
  
  
• Associated Medical Complications
  
  
• Educational Support
  
  
• Safety Concerns
  
  
• Nutrition

At Lighthouse Health Group we believe that the most qualified healthcare professional to make personal care recommendations are nurses who have extensive experience in disability nursing.

Our nurses have developed an exceptional understanding of the complex medical needs of a person living with a disability in a community setting and are able to assess the future impact that these complications may have on any of the categories listed above.
