Key areas of dissatisfaction include the use of evidence-based medical findings, thoroughness of medical analysis, and timeliness of Maximum Medical Improvement classifications. To address these concerns, The Guardian Group has introduced "The Good Qualified Medical Evaluator," an advanced learning series aimed at improving the quality and reliability of reports. This initiative focuses on enhancing objectivity, clarity, and reducing delays in reporting. For more information and to access the full report, visit The Guardian Group's website.
