case review
Reassessing legal proceedings
A case review is a formal examination of how a particular matter was handled, typically in legal, medical, or social services contexts.
Child protective services conduct case reviews after incidents; hospitals review cases where treatment outcomes were poor.
The goal is usually to assess decisions, identify failures, and improve future practice: The agency ordered a case review following the child's death.
