Your Medical Records in the Palm of Your Hand
A Medical History and Health Diary was designed by a R.N. A RN who interviews patients on a daily basis and longs to help people be more knowledgeable and involved in their health care. A RN who is the daughter of an elderly, wheelchair bound mom on a lot of medications and having numerous health conditions. A RN who is the mom of a daughter born with birth defects requiring several surgeries before the age of 5. The Diary was created to save time for patients, families, nurses, physicians and paramedics. It is a tool to provide the public with a means of being involved and knowledgeable of their health care and maintenance. It is universal for old, young, well, ill, male, female. It is organized and small enough to be carried by it's owner at all times. So how can this save your life? Save Time? Step One: Buy "A Medical History and Health Diary" www.helpinghandspublications.com The Medical Diary is organized for you to keep track of past, present and future health/medical information. There are pages for personal information, allergies, medications, lab work, well check ups, immunizations (both for children and adults) yearly testing (mammograms, pap smear, PSA, colonoscopy, eye, ear, dental etc), health conditions/diseases,surgeries and more. Not every one can wear a metal ID bracelet. An ID bracelet can give some very valuable information that can be life saving, but it just cannot hold the wealth of information that "A Medical History and Health Diary" does. "A Medical History and Health Diary" is inexpensive, yet priceless. Step Two: Fill out your personal Medical History and Health Diary Your Diary will not do you or anyone else any good if it is not filled out and kept with you. Take some time filling it out. The more information you can put into it, the more it will help you when you need to recall the information. It is designed to help you keep up on immunizations and checkups, test results. What seems like "just yesterday" often was really a year ago. You will be able to have up to date information in the palm of your hand! One physician is doing a baseline EKG for his patients, shrinking it and laminating it so his patients can carry it with them at all times. The Medical Diary will help communication between physicians, family members and caregivers. Step Three: Keep Your Diary with you at All Times The diary was specifically chosen to be yellow with black writing for a couple of reasons. First of all yellow is easy to find in the bottom of a purse or in a glove compartment. Secondly, black on yellow is easier for the elderly and stroke patients to see and read. The diary is small enough to fit in a purse, shirt pocket, hip pocket and glove compartment so it can be carried with it's owner at all times. The Diary will save time at the doctor's office. Often, a physician will just copy the medication page from the diary and put in a patient's chart if he knows it is current. If you would be in an accident, and unable to communicate, someone would find your health information and it would speed the type of care that could be given to, prevent something being given to you that you might be allergic to. There would be no guess work as to is this person a diabetic, does this person have a history of seizures? high blood pressure? When paramedics come to the house, you don't have to go look for the bottles of medicines that mom/dad keep in the top right hand cupboard. You simply hand them your diary and within a few minutes they have a good idea of what's been going on with you, and can begin giving you the care you need. To Helping You......From Helping Hands
Most people dread the paperwork to be filled out when seeing a new physician, going to the emergency room, riding in the ambulance or even going in for elective surgery. The information you gave in the emergency room last week is just not available to the nurse you're seeing now for surgery. The information you gave at one hospital is not available at the other hospital. It's not enough to know you take a blue pill for your diabetes, or an oval pill for your blood pressure. No one plans a hospital visit when you're on vacation, but it happens. When was your last Tetanus Shot? The Surgery Center doesn't know you are allergic to Latex, even though your doctor's office has it listed. The information you need to give seems so repetitious to you. Yet it is so vital to the care and outcome of your care you'll receive.
