Impairment Calculator 4th edition

EPI 4 is a specialist App designed to be used in conjunction with the American Medical Association’s ‘AMA Guides™ to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment - fourth edition’.

The sole purpose of this App is to calculate the AMA Guide’s Upper Extremity Impairment Evaluation Records, Part-1 (Hand) and Part-2 (Wrist, elbow, and shoulder).

This App IS NOT associated with or endorsed by The American Medical Association. AMA Guides™ is a trademark of the American Medical Association. The trademark symbol has been omitted from the body of this text to improve readability.

Before using this App for medico legal purposes, the user should verify, through comparison with their own calculations, that the scope and accuracy available from the App is sufficient for their needs, including any additional requirements that may apply for their local jurisdiction.

Features

· Automatically calculates Evaluation Records, through to ‘as Whole Person’ IMP%

· Converts the measurement of an impairment to the AMA Guide table’s IMP%

· Animated graphics for visual reference of impairment type.

· Combines left and right side evaluations to 'as whole person%

· Combine upper extremity evaluations with other Guide evaluations.

· Print, email, share or save evaluation records as portable document file (.pdf)

Missing Features

· App does not restrict entry of all conflicting impairments. For example, total sensory loss to the DIP joint 23% will combine with amputation to the PIP joint 80% = finger 85%, even though the DIP joint has been amputated. Therefore, users should verify that they have entered impairments correctly in the reports screen before submiting evaluations.

· List of saved evaluations is not sortable. Top of list shows most recent evaluation date.
