For Hospitals

When a patient dies in the hospital, the family or the treating physician may request an autopsy; however, American Forensics understands that you cannot always provide this service within your facility. An autopsy not only provides information for quality of care documentation for hospital staff, but can also help explain a loved one’s death to surviving family members.

For a reasonable and competitive fee, American Forensics can provide an autopsy examination of the deceased. This examination can provide your treating physicians information to help in completing death certificates.  An autopsy can help identify strengths and weaknesses of your care plans. The examination can then be used in Mortality and Morbidity quality control reviews.  Having the physicians of American Forensics conduct the examination removes the allegations of bias or “cover up” by the hospital. 

American Forensics puts the needs of the clients first. Scheduling is flexible to best accommodate you and the families we serve. We will help coordinate transportation of the deceased to a facility provided by American Forensics.

When a family or physician requests an autopsy, American Forensics is a name you can rely on for prompt, caring, confidential, and competent service. 

Please contact American Forensics for fees.
