There are lots of lawyer productivity tools out there designed to make life easier for personal injury attorneys.
It’s simpler now than ever before to do things like streamline communication between employees and store your data on the cloud for easy referencing.
But there’s still one problem left unsolved—very few, if any of online tools help you streamline communication between relevant third parties in a personal injury claim.
Until now. ShareScape helps connect medical providers with law firms in one easy-to-access online portal. Easy medical record sharing is easier now than ever before.
4 Ways ShareScape Can Simplify Your Life
Here are 4 ways ShareScape will save your personal injury law practice time, money and energy.
1. Speeds Up Claims Processing
As you know, settling a personal injury claim takes quite a while.
Between initial contact with a client, starting the case, gathering information and actually going to trial, it can take a year or more before your client gets paid. [1]
Early on in the process, there’s loads of paperwork that need to be handled and reviewed.
Because HIPAA only guarantees files will be sent within 30 calendar days of a request, you’re looking at a minimum of a few weeks just to get the ball rolling—longer if documents are getting mailed and faxed between parties.
ShareScape offers an online portal that gives law firms 24/7 access to patient records. Having instant access to this information can cut days, if not weeks out of the initial steps that need to be taken to start a personal injury claim.
2. It Streamlines Communication
Along the same lines, one common pain point for personal injury attorneys is the sheer amount of people that must be kept in the loop.
Medical providers, law firms and human resources departments are just a few examples of who wind up getting involved when a personal injury claim is filed. When people aren’t on the same page and unorganized, information can be displaced. Poor communication between parties can easily delay a case by weeks.
But ShareScape’s online portal for lawyers and medical providers makes communication easy. Hosted all in one place, medical providers and law firms both have access to patient records and can communicate with administrators.
Besides the amount of time this will save you making phone calls, it also eliminates other headaches like having to search for documents. (Did you know administrative tasks like tracking down personal medical records like this are the number one time-killer of attorneys?)
3. Your Data Is Protected
In today’s cloud-based world, security is absolutely paramount for law firms and medical providers of all sizes. Poor security could result in HIPAA law violations if client data gets leaked or lost.
Many law firms use Dropbox and other free online storage tools like it to store and share data. But there’s an inherent risk to doing so.
Dropbox has had more than a dozen serious security breaches since its creation in 2007. And while it does an admirable job in some regards, the truth is that it wasn’t designed to store legal documents like medical records.
ShareScape, on the other hand, is built on Amazon Web Services, a secure, cloud-based platform that is widely used in the health and tech industries. Documents and communication between parties is encrypted to protect your client’s data.
4. The Bigger It Grows, The Simpler Things Get
If you’re part of a large law firm, you no doubt know how frustrating it can be jumping back and forth between medical providers from one case to the next.
Whether you file one claim per month or a thousand, ShareScape’s online platform offers medical providers of all sizes a solution.
In fact, there’s an incentive for medical care service providers and law firms alike to help other attorneys and medical providers find out about this online portal.
As more and more medical providers come onto the platform, it’ll become easier for even large law firms to access documents And once law firms see how easy it is to share files, they’ll be more likely to send cases to your medical provider. All parties benefit!
Remember, personal injury attorneys and law firms do not have to pay to use ShareScape. The medical provider pays a small fee based on the number of cases they handle per month.
