These guidelines address issues that are typically important to the provision of a thorough/comprehensive report of an independent medical evaluation (IME) in any realm of practice.

IME’s occur in a variety of circumstances and may have many purposes. Individual cases differ also with respect to the nature and/or degree of injury, impairment and disability. It is therefore clear that the contents of a given report will necessarily reflect the relative importance of many specific factors, and processes, as these relate to the individual’s injuries and functions, and to the focus of concern and questions of requesting parties.

These guidelines recognize that professional reports of independent evaluators will appropriately reflect clinicians’ needs to integrate their understanding of the most relevant factors as these apply to specific cases, and issues, in a manner that can reasonably be understood by the reader. They are not a one-size-fits-all formula for report writing, nor do they represent specific/minimal standards of practice. They are meant to assist independent evaluators in their efforts to clearly present the matters that are most relevant to understanding the objective medical effects of an injury or illness on an individual’s abilities to function in various realms.
