Electronic Discovery in Nursing Home Litigation

Unlocking the Digital Record

Published by Kentucky Justice Association
and Canadian Caucus of AAJ
Learning Objectives
  • Why traditional paper chart reviews are insufficient to tell the whole story
  • Key categories of electronic discovery, including email, electronic medical record (EMR) audit trail data; metadata; staffing, timekeeping, and monitoring system data
  • Develop targeted discovery requests to obtain meaningful electronic evidence
  • Use internal email to develop liability themes, demonstrate notice, expose corporate priorities, and challenge credibility
  • Analyze audit trail data to support spoliation arguments or impeachment.
  • Identify discrepancies between documented and actual care delivery





Summary

Electronic discovery has become one of the most powerful—and underutilized—tools in nursing home litigation. While the medical chart tells part of the story, the real truth often lives in internal company emails, metadata, audit trails, and staff monitoring systems. For plaintiff lawyers, understanding how to identify, obtain, and use these electronic records can transform a case.

In this program Hannah Jamison explores the critical role of electronic discovery in nursing home cases, focusing on practical strategies to uncover hidden evidence, develop compelling liability themes, build the corporate case, and expose documentation inconsistencies. You will learn how internal emails can reveal corporate priorities, staffing pressures, and post-incident damage control; how audit trail data can establish when records were created, modified, or backdated; and how staff monitoring and electronic timekeeping records can be used in comparison with charted documentation.

Through real-world examples and litigation strategies, this webinar will equip you with the tools to move beyond the printed chart and leverage digital evidence to prove neglect, causation, and systemic failures.
