Optimum standardization of healthcare medicolegal reports in Egypt: A forensic medicine initiative

This forensic medicine initiative aims to improve healthcare medicolegal reporting in Egypt using quality tools. The challenges were analyzed using Root Cause Analysis (RCA). A fishbone diagram is used to summarizes the root causes of the problem, according to six tributaries: personnel, procedures, measurements, materials, equipment, and environment. Corrective actions are proposed in the same systematized manner. A comprehensive quality optimum standards checklist is adopted for medicolegal reporting. Quality standards will guide healthcare practitioners to issue quality-based medicolegal reports. The degree of improvement of medicolegal reporting should be assessed using correlated Key performance indicators (KPIs)
