Things to keep in mind

It all begins with understanding and managing the information you already have.

Here are some key points to remember:

One step at a time
"Don't try to eat the whole elephant at once". It may take you some time to put together all of your medical information. Here are some forms that you will want to focus on and fill out first.
          Current Status
          Medications List
          Physicians

Baseline only
Do not carry a "filing cabinet". The forms are set up to be one page. Write down the most current information.This will make it easier for your doctor to read.

Set-up at home
Organize a real filing cabinet at home. As you add and change things along the way managing your health will require you to store your medical information in your home.

Using the Coming Home Medical Organizer will help to equip and empower you as a parent or caregiver in taking care of your loved one.
