// Why Chronos

Medical chronology software that keeps every source in view.

The question that matters is whether the output stays connected to the record. Chronos pairs page-level citations and confidence signals with an editable workflow for personal injury, mass tort, workers' compensation and other litigation teams.

01

Predictable cost per case

One flat credit per case, no matter how many pages. Easy to compare against the open-ended billable-hour cost of doing it by hand.

$400+/hr → 1 flat credit
02

Hours back on every case

Upload the records and get a first-draft timeline back in minutes, instead of reading thousands of pages yourself.

Days of review → minutes
03

A defensible, court-ready chronology

Every entry cites the exact source page, so your timeline holds up when opposing counsel challenges it.

// By the numbers

The medical record review challenge — quantified.

A complex personal injury file can span hundreds to thousands of pages of medical documentation across multiple providers. Turning that medical evidence into a defensible medical records chronology software workflow — instead of a manual read-through — is the problem Chronos helps address. Here are the figures that define it.

40–60 pages / hr

Manual review benchmark

Industry benchmark for manual clinical record review. At that rate, a 1,000-page case file represents 15–25 hours of reading before a single fact is verified — with no source citations included.

BAA

Relationship-dependent under HIPAA

HIPAA's requirements apply to covered entities and business associates. A written BAA is required when a covered entity engages a business associate to perform covered functions or services involving PHI. A law firm or vendor is not automatically subject to HIPAA merely because it handles medical records. Chronos voluntarily makes its BAA available for a firm administrator to review and sign.

AES-256
+ TLS 1.3

TLS 1.3 + provider-managed AES-256

HIPAA's Security Rule addresses encryption of PHI at rest and in transit. Chronos uses TLS 1.3 in transit and provider-managed AES-256 encryption at rest on Aptible HIPAA-eligible infrastructure.

AI medical chronology software

AI medical chronology software reads a case's medical records and drafts a date-ordered timeline of visits, findings and treatment, with each entry linked to the page it came from. Chronos does that for law firms, and your team checks every line against its source before it is exported. It is an alternative to outsourced record review services, not a replacement for attorney review.

// Behind the timeline

How Chronos creates a chronology

Chronos reads each page, runs OCR where a page is an image, and pulls out the date, provider, facility, diagnoses, procedures and billed amounts for each documented encounter. Entries land in date order with a citation to the page they came from.

That draft is where review starts, not where it ends. Reviewers open the cited page, correct what is wrong and keep open questions visible. The AI organizes the record; it does not give a medical opinion. More on that division of work is in our AI review overview.

If you are new to chronologies, the chronology guide explains formats and manual preparation.

The tools for review, chat and export are on the features page.

// From records to reviewed work

Choosing medical chronology software for law firms

Evaluate more than a polished AI summary. Your team needs to know what the supplied records support, what remains uncertain and what changed before the work product leaves the firm.

Understand the task

A dated chronology, a narrative medical summary and provider record retrieval serve different needs. A timeline of uploaded documents does not prove that the complete record set has arrived.

How AI chronology workflows differ

Test source verification and coverage

Use an invented sample with conflicting dates, duplicate pages and an unreadable scan. Check the cited passage, patient identity and each page's disposition—not just whether a draft is produced.

Run a pilot with this checklist

Review before relying on an export

Verify dates, medication units, qualifications and billing details against the source. Keep unresolved facts explicit and distinguish what a record states from clinical or legal conclusions.

// FAQ

Questions, answered.

A medical chronology is a timeline of a person's medical care. It lists each visit, diagnosis, treatment, and bill in date order. Lawyers use it to see the full story of an injury at a glance.
Chronos serves law firms that handle injury and medical cases. It helps attorneys, paralegals, and legal teams turn records into clear timelines.
Every fact comes with a confidence score and a link to the exact source page. Your team can check it in one click. Chronos supports review, not blind trust. You stay in control of the final timeline.
Most chronologies are ready in minutes, not days. You upload the records, and the AI builds the first draft right away. Your team then reviews and refines it.
You buy credit packs. One credit covers one case, no matter how many pages. Packs never expire and work across your whole firm. The bigger the pack, the less you pay per case. See the pricing page for current packs.
Yes. Chronos provides HIPAA-aligned safeguards and makes a BAA available for a firm administrator to review and sign. TLS 1.3 encrypts data in transit, and provider-managed AES-256 encrypts it at rest. You also get role-based access and security audit logging. Whether HIPAA and a BAA are legally required depends on the parties' covered-entity and business-associate relationships. Read the full HIPAA compliance details.
You can upload PDFs of any kind — digital, scanned, or faxed — plus common image files. Chronos reads text from image-only records for you. Even low-quality faxes become searchable and citable.
Yes. The timeline is fully editable. You can re-order entries, merge duplicates, hide entries, and add your own notes. Your edits stay in place when you export to PDF or Word.
Yes. The cited chronology can become a demand package, a deposition summary generated from uploaded transcripts, or forward-looking damages worksheets — future medical projections, life care plan summaries, and lost income worksheets. See the demand package features.
Yes. Chronos connects to Clio, Filevine, and Litify, so you can push finished chronologies, demand packages, and summaries straight into the matter — no downloading and re-uploading. A firm-level auto-send default means exports land in the matter automatically without anyone pressing "push" each time.
Yes. Chronos extracts ICD-10 diagnosis codes, CPT procedure codes, and HCPCS supply codes onto every chronology entry automatically. The codes are exported with the timeline in PDF, DOCX, and Excel formats and are available in a grouped view, ready for damages models or expert review. See the extraction features.
Yes. Chronos surfaces provider coverage suggestions — flagging providers, facilities, or specialists that appear in the record text but have no uploaded records tracked against them. Your team can accept, dismiss, or restore each suggestion, and every decision is attributed to the team member who made it.
Yes. Any chronology entry supports threaded comment discussions. Team members can @mention colleagues to pull them into a review thread, and open threads are surfaced on the case dashboard. Comments stay within your firm account and are not included in exports.
