The IME brief checklist.

Five things the best briefs get right, so the report lands first time. A one-page checklist drawn from thousands of IMEs and hundreds of conversations with the doctors who write the reports.

• Purpose, questions and clinical history that actually get answered
• The one test that tells you the brief is ready
• The mechanics that get your matters first pick of slots

Print it. Put it on the desk. Run every brief through it.
