The Blackwood Investigation | First Annual Halloween Clinical Investigation Challenge
A WOMAN IS DEAD. FIVE PEOPLE HAVE SOMETHING TO EXPLAIN.
You know how to review a medical record. But can you solve a murder mystery?
Blackwood Manor. Halloween morning. 2:17 a.m.
Eighty-four-year-old Eleanor Blackwood is discovered unresponsive in Room 12 of the historic nursing facility that was once her family home.
Her physician certifies a natural death.
No medical examiner is called. No autopsy is performed. Three days later, Eleanor is cremated.
Case closed?
Not quite.
Eleanor had an appointment with an attorney. She wanted to change something in her personal affairs — and she didn't want her nephew to know.
The nursing documentation describes an ordinary evening.
The medication records raise troubling questions.
The electronic audit trail reveals discrepancies that aren't apparent in the printed chart.
And several people have reasons to explain their actions.
Was Eleanor murdered? Did a medical error contribute to her death? Or was this simply an unfortunate natural death?
That's for you to investigate.
INTRODUCING THE CHART FILES' FIRST ANNUAL HALLOWEEN CLINICAL INVESTIGATION CHALLENGE
THE BLACKWOOD INVESTIGATION
One Death. Conflicting Evidence. What Can You Prove?
This Halloween, The Chart Files invites legal nurse consultants, forensic nurses, and other clinically trained investigators to step into a fictional medical-legal mystery unlike an ordinary case study.
You'll assume the role of a clinical investigator retained by counsel to examine Eleanor Blackwood's suspicious death.
Your assignment is deceptively simple:
Determine what happened, identify who bears responsibility, and establish what the evidence actually proves.
But beware.
Not every discrepancy indicates wrongdoing.
Not every suspicious individual is guilty.
And not everything documented in a medical record necessarily happened as recorded.
WHAT'S INSIDE?
Your purchase includes three professionally designed PDF documents — 45 pages in total:
1. THE BLACKWOOD INVESTIGATION — 30 Pages
A complete fictional medical-legal case featuring:
Five principal persons of interest, each with questions to answer.
Nursing notes, physician orders, and medication administration records.
Hospital discharge documentation and laboratory findings.
Electronic health record audit trails and system-access logs.
Witness statements and risk-management interviews.
Pharmacy records, emergency medical services documentation, and facility policies.
Conflicting timelines, suspicious documentation, and missing evidence.
2. INVESTIGATOR'S CASE NOTEBOOK — 5 Pages
Your personal investigative guide.
Six focused questions challenge you to reconstruct events, evaluate the evidence, identify possible failures, and distinguish established facts from reasonable inferences.
3. SEALED SOLUTION KEY & SCORING GUIDE — 10 Pages
Don't open it until you've completed your investigation!
Discover the underlying case resolution, examine the reconstructed timeline, explore the misleading clues, and compare your conclusions with a detailed evidence-based analysis.
The solution may surprise you.
THINK YOU CAN CRACK THE CASE?
This isn't a multiple-choice quiz.
There are no convenient answers hiding at the bottom of the page.
You'll need to apply your clinical knowledge, examine competing explanations, recognize inconsistencies, and investigate what the record doesn't say.
The challenge isn't simply to identify what looks suspicious. It's to determine what you can prove.
Designed to challenge both new and experienced legal nurse consultants, this investigation offers an entertaining opportunity to exercise the skills that distinguish medical record review from genuine evidence analysis.
Estimated investigation time: 3–5 hours.
No deadlines. No formal competition. Just you, the evidence, and a mystery waiting to be solved.
