ABOUT

Shane Huey

Shane Huey is a multistate Registered Nurse (NLC), Legal Nurse Consultant, and Healthcare IT Analyst working at the intersection of clinical medicine, health IT, and forensic science.

With 11+ years building and optimizing Cerner/Oracle Health EHR systems — implementation, HIE, CMS compliance — Shane brings a systems-level fluency to medical record review most legal nurse consultants lack. He understands not just the chart, but how it was built and where the audit trail tells a different story than the narrative note.

That's backed by formal forensic training (TEEX forensic/investigative science, DIA/DITA medico-legal death investigation, statement analysis, forensic linguistics, criminal profiling), CLS/BARBRI legal nurse consultant certification, dual master's degrees (information security, business IT management), and OSINT/digital forensics expertise.

Through ShaneHuey.com, Shane offers medical record review, EHR/EMR audit trail forensic analysis, and his proprietary Signal-Based Interviewing (SBI) methodology for forensic interview contexts. Based in St. Augustine, FL.

A nurse first. Everything else builds from there.

My clinical background spans bedside nursing, pre-hospital trauma care, wilderness and austere medicine, and forensic nursing — grounded in active multistate licensure and ongoing advanced certification. That clinical foundation is not a credential I carry passively. It informs everything I do on the analytical and forensic side.

I don't simply review medical records — I understand what they mean clinically, legally, and forensically, because I have lived the moments they describe. When I evaluate an injury pattern, a medication sequence, or a nursing assessment, I bring the judgment of someone who has made those same clinical decisions in real time.

CLINICAL RANGE
Acute care, pre-hospital trauma, wilderness medicine, behavioral health, forensic nursing — experience across the full spectrum of clinical environments where cases originate
ACTIVE LICENSURE
Registered Nurse, Florida Multistate License (NLC) · BLS · ACLS · PHTLS · AWLS · Wilderness First Responder — certifications maintained, not archived

THE CLINICAL FOUNDATION

When I examine an EHR, I'm not reading it — I'm interrogating it.

With master's degrees in Information Security and IT Management, and years of Healthcare IT experience implementing and auditing the systems that generate medical records, I can examine electronic records at a level conventional forensic review never reaches.

Most consultants read what the record displays. I examine what the system recorded — access logs, modification timestamps, metadata anomalies, and workflow deviations that are invisible to anyone without Healthcare IT experience. That technical layer is often where the case actually lives.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR CASE
EHR audit trails, access log analysis, metadata forensics, and system-behavior anomalies that standard chart review misses entirely — and that opposing counsel hopes you won't know to request
EDUCATION
MS, Information Security — Western Governors University · MBA, IT Management — Western Governors University · BA, Philosophy & Cognitive Science — University of Alabama at Birmingham

THE TECHNICAL LAYER

Trained across every dimension of how people document, communicate, and conceal.

My investigative training spans forensic linguistics, statement analysis, micro-expression recognition, interview methodology (Reid Technique, PEACE Model), OSINT, criminal profiling, crime scene analysis, death investigation, and fingerprint science — developed through formal programs at accredited institutions and applied through active investigative work.

I examine not just what a record says, but how it was written — and what that reveals. As a licensed private detective, a professional member of Investigative Reporters and Editors, and the founder of Florida Unsolved, my investigative practice is active, not theoretical.

THE INVESTIGATIVE LAYER

How I approach a case.

I work the way a journalist does — through primary sources, public records, and documented methodology — and the way an investigator does — with structured analytical frameworks and an understanding of what evidence actually requires.

Every opinion is falsifiable
Every finding is supported by evidence, every methodology is disclosed, and every opinion is built to withstand cross-examination
Three levels simultaneously
Every record examined for what happened clinically, what the system recorded, and what the language reveals — three layers most consultants can only address one of
Boutique by design
Every engagement handled personally — no handoffs, no junior reviewers. You work directly with me from intake to deliverable

CREDENTIALS

FLORIDA UNSOLVED

Shane is the founder of Florida Unsolved, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit investigative journalism platform dedicated to cold cases and missing persons in Florida. Active investigative work — including public records requests, source development, and forensic case analysis — is ongoing. This isn't background; it's practice.

FLORIDA UNSOLVED

"The details that win cases aren't always in the case file or chart. Sometimes they're in the metadata. Sometimes they're in the language. I look at all of it — and I have the clinical, technical, and forensic background to know what I'm seeing."
