ClaimData is a symptom documentation and — more importantly — an impairment documentation software that will empower you and your clients to quantify the functional effects of their injuries or illnesses. Every day, the software prompts your clients to report their symptoms and resulting functional impairments.
Once you sign up, you’ll have a dashboard where you can add or remove clients from the service. From the dashboard you can view quick summaries for each client and print detailed summary PDF reports.
Whether they use a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer, the software prompts your client to provide information every day (sending text message reminders as necessary). If they miss a day, the software sends them a text asking them to explain why on the following day. To provide you the best evidence, a client can only submit responses for a given day on that day.
Whether the client does the daily surveys for a month or for a year, you get the same easy-to-read report summarizing their responses. The report’s bar charts and tables show at a glance how their injury or illness affects your client in their day-to-day life. This is powerful evidence on its own and becomes even more powerful when provided to treating medical providers or independent medical examiners.What you (also) get – better client service
The software gives your clients a voice. They feel heard and they feel a sense of agency knowing they’re doing what they can to help their claim.
The software automatically reminds your clients to attend their provider appointments and report their functional issues in detail. You’ll find yourself reading better medical records that are for better evidence for the case.
By learning to think in terms of how their symptoms affect what they can do, rather than just how they feel, your clients are better prepared to communicate with their providers. They’re also much better prepared to testify.
The automatic messages sent by the software create a better sense of connection between you and your clients. They’ll also feel grateful that you gave them a platform through which they can help you and help themselves.
