I’m Chris Harrigan, MS, RN — a Legal Nurse Consultant and healthcare leader specializing in behavioral health, medical malpractice, long‑term care, disability, and standards‑of‑care analysis. With more than 17 years of clinical and administrative experience, I help legal teams, insurers, and care organizations navigate complex medical information with clarity and confidence.

My background includes director‑level leadership in behavioral health, evidence‑based clinical education, and high‑volume claims assessment for national insurers. I combine operational expertise with meticulous clinical review to deliver reports that are structured, defensible, and strategically aligned with case objectives.

In addition to supporting attorneys and insurers, I work directly with individuals and families facing complex care concerns, providing guidance that bridges clinical understanding with real‑world decision‑making. This includes case planning and management for complex care needs — helping clients interpret medical records, understand care trajectories, evaluate treatment options, and coordinate safe, appropriate next steps across behavioral health, long‑term care, and medically fragile situations.

Through A Nurse’s Perspective, my mission is simple: deliver the medical clarity people need to make informed, confident decisions.
