Questions about chronology samples
Answer in brief: the short answers physicians ask most about the samples on this site, grouped by topic. Each answer links to the page with the detail.
Limits: Every sample here is synthetic: no real patient, invented names and invented page numbers. Rules quoted for QME and Social Security work come from the cited regulation, read 2026-11-12; they are not legal advice, and facts about other sample libraries come from each publisher's page on that date.
About the samples and the case types
What is a medical records chronology?
A date-ordered table of the events in a record file, 1 row per event, each row citing the page it came from. It reports what the records say and holds no opinion.
Why are there 6 different samples?
Because each case type has a different reader with a different question. The columns change to match: referral questions for an IME, excerpt review and apportionment for a QME, months from onset for disability, work status for comp, clock times for med mal, and recommending notes for a life care plan.
Are any of the samples based on real patients?
No. All 6 are synthetic: invented people, providers, facilities, dates and page numbers.
Which sample covers personal injury?
None directly. This library is built for physicians, so it covers the case types physicians sign on. The IME sample comes closest, since many IMEs are requested in injury claims.
Can I use the samples as templates?
Yes. Copy the columns and the habits shown in the annotations. Do not carry synthetic facts into real work.
Do the samples follow my state's rules?
The QME sample follows California rules and the disability sample follows federal Social Security rules, both read from the source text on 2026-11-12. The other samples are state-neutral. Check your own jurisdiction's rules before you rely on any format.
How do I judge a sample a vendor sends me?
Use the 12-point checklist on the reading guide, then test 3 citations against the source pages. A sample whose citations you cannot test proves little.
