3 Steps to Organized Medical Records for Caregivers
A big frustration for caregivers is the never-ending medical paperwork that goes with the territory. When scheduled medical appointments or, even more stressful, the unscheduled medical emergency arises, medical information for the loved one in your care is crucial. Whether you're keeping medical records already or are trying to organize them for the first time, there are 3 main steps in this journey -- Gather, Organize, and Maintain.
Gather - This first step may be the most difficult if you haven't already been keeping good records, but it's not an impossible task. Pull together all records currently available to you. If you are missing information or records, you can obtain copies of those by contacting each provider separately and requesting a copy of the medical record - both current and past. Be ready to fill out & sign each provider's release of information form.[Click here to read the full blog...]

If you yearn to feel more connected to your feelings and thoughts but are not quite sure how to make it happen, allow us to lend a hand.
