When you, a loved one suffers an adverse outcome in the healthcare system, it’s not just a medical event, it’s a deeply personal, often life-altering experience. In these moments, what families need most is clarity, support, and answers, not legal jargon, complex medical terminology, or evasive responses from the medical professionals you trusted for care. In these moments, where there are more questions than answers, it is normal to feel overwhelmed, isolated and victimized by a care system that hurt you instead of healed you. In these moments, you need support.
That’s where EvaluCare steps in.
EvaluCare is not a law firm. It's not an insurance company. It is a team of experienced hospital quality leaders, clinical and risk management professionals, who have worked in the healthcare system for decades, spending their careers ensuring hospitals provide safe, evidence-based, patient-centered care. But they grew tired of the routine and callous ways hospitals failed to offer any compensation for patients when care failed, how hospitals weren't held accountable when patients died and families didn't pursue winnable malpractice cases.
They have a shared vision and passion to help patients that are harmed by the healthcare system, that is not getting safer especially in recent years. Now, they bring that insider knowledge and seasoned expertise to the side of patients, families, and attorneys, those seeking truth, accountability, and a way forward.
A Mission Rooted in Compassion and Clarity
At its core, EvaluCare was founded on a powerful principle: everyone deserves to know what really happened with their medical care. The medical system can be intimidating, complex and opaque, especially after a bad outcome. Families are often left with unanswered questions like:
Did the doctors do everything they could?
Was something missed?
Was this preventable?
Should we have been told more?
Was a medical error a result of negligence?
EvaluCare exists to answer those questions. And they do so with clarity, compassion, and clinical and quality authority. Our seasoned team is knowledgeable about the many clinical guidelines and regulatory standards that guide complex care settings, from home to hospital.
What Makes EvaluCare Different
Unlike other services that rely on administrative personnel or outsourced medical reviewers as an secondary process to a legal process, EvaluCare’s reviews are conducted by a team of seasoned professionals with decades of leadership experience across the heatlh system to guide decision making. These are people who’ve led quality for health systems, led the medical care teams as chief medical officers, and led hospitals as chief operating officers, executive directors of behavioral and mental health agencies and others who have spent careers helping patients. The team has overseen patient safety programs and initiatives, and implemented thousands of initiatives to improve quality and care standards across entire health system of care. We routinely adjudicated adverse patient safety cases for the health systems, facilitated root cause analysis to identify root cause and contributing factors in patient cases where they were harmed as a result of care.
They know the system, from the inside out because they helped build it. And that’s exactly why they’re so effective at holding it accountable. Our common cause that unites us is to help others who need our expertise.
Comprehensive, Expert Medical Care Review Services
EvaluCare offers a suite of services that provide an end-to-end review of medical care. Their approach is structured, transparent, and based on gold-standard of quality clinical, criteria.
Although we are not a law firm, we recognize medical malpractice, which is a medical care delivery issue first and a legal issue second. We want to be able to help as many people who need it and have designed services to meet the unique needs of every patient or family member. Here's a breakdown of what reviews include:
1. Clarifying the Care That Was Provided
The team provides patients, families and attorneys with a clear, accessible summary of what medical interventions occurred, what decisions were made, and when. This first step is crucial, as it builds the care narrative families are often denied. Our team of systems experts can identify contributing factors that led to a poor outcome.
2. Evaluation Against Clinical Standards of Care
Using widely accepted standards of care, including professional society guidelines, regulatory bodies, and more, EvaluCare examines whether the care delivered met the expectations of medical best practices.
3. Assessment Against Practice Guidelines
EvaluCare cross-references care against published practice guidelines within care specialties, and regulatory specific requirements to determine whether care deviated from expected protocols. Was your caregiver credentialed for the care delivered and working with scope of practice? Was there a breakdown in how imaging studies were read, communicated and acted on?
4. Identification of Negligence
If a deviation from the standard of care or clinical guidelines is identified, the review assesses whether it amounted to negligence, that is, whether the deviations were significant enough to have directly caused harm.
5. Evaluation for Potential Medical Malpractice
EvaluCare offers a preliminary assessment to determine if there is a reasonable basis to consider a malpractice case, arming families and attorneys with credible, expert-informed insight before legal proceedings begin.
6. Direct Settlement Negotiations
Evalucare’s team of quality, risk management and medical professionals knowledgeable about health system strategies to manage risk and cases where harm occurred uses that information to help patients negotiate direct settlements with healthcare organizations. This opens up support to patients and families who may not want to pursue a lawsuit, may not have the means, whose care harm is such that a small settlement would not be less than the cost of pursuing a legal case.
Why These Services Matter
For families and patients, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Poor outcomes like brain injuries, surgical errors, delays in diagnosis, or medication mistakes often result in lifelong consequences. Yet, the path to understanding what happened can feel blocked at every turn.
EvaluCare helps break through that wall.
For Patients and Families: They provide truth, closure, and guidance.
For Future Patients: Each review that exposes a systemic failure is a step toward safer care for the next person. Each organization held financially and clinical accountable spurs the need for changes to make care safer.
