Beyond generic medical summary service
We organize evidence according to the questions DDE need to answer
DDE services support Designated Doctors in conducting independent evaluations of injured employees in Texas workers' compensation cases. The process typically involves reviewing medical records, understanding the DWC-defined issues to be addressed, conducting the examination, analyzing the medical evidence, and preparing a compliant report that provides the doctor's findings and medical opinions.
Summit offers comprehensive DDE Physician Support Services that go beyond generic record summaries. We organize evidence according to the questions DDE must answer.
Every evaluation file is structured around five critical clinical and factual inquiries:
Clear injury mechanism, workplace event documentation, and initial triage reports.
Sequential inventory of conservative care, medications, therapy, injections, and surgical interventions.
Objective clinical response tracking, pain scores, functional progress, or treatment plateau indications.
Discrepancies between subjective complaints, imaging findings, diagnostic gaps, and prior conditions.
Targeted exam checklist highlighting unverified ROM, sensory deficits, or disputed diagnostic areas.
Essential case parameters and intake metrics delivered at the very top of each evaluation file.
Evidence indexed precisely against each contested issue to substantiate the Designated Doctor's report.
We categorize treating doctor notes, therapy progress logs, and plateau milestones into balanced evidence columns:
All clinical rating criteria systematically cataloged for quick reference and calculation:
Clear demarcation between accepted liability and disputed diagnoses:
Complete timeline of physical capability vs. employment availability:
