Why records matter

Organized records help your care team understand your history quickly and avoid repeating tests unnecessarily.

A simple system

  • Keep one folder, paper or digital, for each family member

  • Store reports by date, newest first

  • Keep an up-to-date medicines list

  • Note questions to ask at your next visit

Share what helps

Bring relevant records to appointments, and ask for copies of new results for your file.
