RASR Tip Sheet

	Fact Witness	Expert Witness
Classification:	Provider is usually the treating physician of a patient who has filed a claim against a third party where that treatment, or the injury that necessitated the treatment, is relevant to the dispute. The provider is being asked to give their opinion, based on their personal interaction with a patient.	Provider is an expert in the specific area of medicine and is being asked to give an opinion, based on their expertise and their review of the chart. Generally, the opinion is about another provider’s care. The provider’s opinions are not based on facts derived from personally treating the individual, but from reviewing the record of someone else’s care.
Processing:	Providing fact witness testimony for current or former patients is part of the job and does not require an EPAP or agreement. The UNCHCS Legal and Risk Department has developed forms specific for these situations designed to protect the UNC providers.	Providing expert witness testimony requires an EPAP, unless the Department or Program falls under an exception. 1) Physician must have requesting firm complete an Expert Representation form and have it approved by the UNCHCS Legal and Risk Department. 2) Physician must submit Notice of Intent: air.research.unc.edu
