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.
