AI-Assisted Orthopedic IME

Orthopedic IMEs are among the most record-intensive evaluations in insurance medicine. A single file can span hundreds of pages across dozens of providers, including imaging reports, surgical notes, therapy records, prior IMEs, all with causation timelines that are contested, compressed, and consequential.

The time physicians spend organizing and reviewing those records rarely improves opinion quality. It just delays it.

Jenna Earnshaw, CEO & Co-Founder of Wisedocs, partners with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) to examine how orthopedic IME physicians are using domain-specific AI to cut through record volume without cutting corners, and what it takes for AI-assisted review to meet the accuracy and defensibility standards that independent opinions require.

In this session, you'll learn:

• Why domain-specific AI outperforms general-purpose tools for complex orthopedic IME documentation, and what makes outputs audit-ready
• Where traditional record review breaks down in high-volume claim types
• How to evaluate AI-assisted outputs for accuracy and defensibility across causation, permanency, and impairment rating
• When AI-assisted record review adds reliable value, and when orthopedic clinical judgment must be the final step

The goal is not to replace clinical expertise. It is to eliminate the low-value record review work that consumes time without improving opinion quality, so that the physician's attention is concentrated where it matters most.

Join us as we explore how orthopedic IMEs can work smarter, not longer and discover how AI can transform your IME workflow.
