Are you a health care provider who finds your patients’ lack of specific knowledge regarding their medical histories an impediment to delivering quality and effective health care? If so, it may be time to write your patients a prescription for The Personal Health Diary. The PHD is not a replacement for the official medical records kept by you and your staff, but a supplement to those records that can give you and your patients extra piece of mind. It provides patients with a place to record family medical histories, medical tests and results, drug allergies, emergency and insurance information, as well as questions, concerns and symptoms they wish to discuss. The PHD is also an ideal place for patients to jot down any instructions or guidelines you may give along with details of each consultation. The Personal Health Diary can facilitate better communication in the doctor/patient relationship by empowering patients with knowledge and information regarding their individual care. · A simple and effective way for Medicare and Medicaid recipients who visit several different health care facilities to consolidate their medical records · Can “speak” for patients in emergency situations where they may be unable to speak for themselves · A great reference for college students living away from home or traveling abroad · Eliminates redundant medical tests and immunizations
