HEALTH PROFILE

  • Your health care provider cannot manage your health effectively without knowing essential information about you.
  • This essential information is called “Your Medical History“ or “Your Health Profile".
  • If you have ever forgotten the right answers to questions from your health care provider …. then creating Your Own Health Profile may go a long way towards enhancing your well being in the future.
  • You can print it off & take it with you for every visit; or carry it with you on your smart phone or tablet.
  • Can you recall all of your medical problems? ... and ... When they were first diagnosed?
  • Can you recall all of your medications' names? Can you recall all of your medications' strength in milligrams? Can you recall all of your medications' doses & frequency of use?
  • Can you recall all of your vaccinations? ... and ... When they were last administered?
  • Can you recall all of your medical surgeries/procedures? ... and ... When they were performed?
  • Can you recall all of your allergies?
  • These are some of the key bits of information that your doctor, pharmacist, nurse, dentist, chiropractor, physiotherapist, respiratory therapist, optometrist or any other health care provider may need to know in order to properly and effectively manage your health!
  • Your computer can help you to become most prepared for your next health care related appointment.
