From the supplier: Evidence of spoliation of medical records in physician malpractice actions can strengthen the plaintiff's case, and attorneys should review all charts, even if made by a presumably reputable physician, hospital, or other provider, with the suspician that something has been altered. Record tampering is too common to assume it has not happened in your case. Records shifting blame to the patient for refusal of treatment are one red flag. Forensic chemists, document-examiners, ink-dating and fingerprint specialists may be critical. Legal remedies for those abused by altered or spoliated evidence are covered.
