Listing appointments, taking notes on your preventive-care measures and tracking various medications all in one place makes the information easier to access for you, and in an emergency, for your friends and family members. Create copies of your health information for your spouse, children and even your aging parents, and place it together in a folder. This health planner can help you:
- Bring doctors and nurses quickly up to speed on your medical history.
- Keep a record of dates so you know when, if any, symptoms or illnesses began. You also can list their severity or any complications.
- List prescriptions, over-the-counter medications and any warnings for your medical practitioners.
- Track various doctor visits, as well as have access to contact phone numbers and addresses.
