Scrutiny on the QME’s Report has never been higher ever since the State Auditor issued her November 2019 Report criticizing the “low quality” of QME Reports that not only do not resolve disputed issues, but also introduce tremendous costs, and tremendous delays into an otherwise overburdened and inefficient California Worker’s Compensation system. This has prompted the Division of Worker’s Compensation to ramp up its efforts to improve the content and quality of QME reports. In this all-new program, we bring you dozens of ideas to immediately improve the accuracy of your reporting, and the usability of your reports by the parties in the system who actually rely on our opinions and conclusions to resolve disputed issues.
