Caregiver Binder
This binder was designed by a team of Henry Ford Health System care giving experts to assist caregivers and patients. Keep documents in one location:
- Medical records
- Medication information
- Medical history
- Lab results
- Appointments
- Your questions
- Notes from the doctor
- Information, business cards and handouts
Take it, Share it, Use it:
- Take it with you to doctor’s appointments.
- Share it with other caregivers and your loved one.
- Use it to make care giving easier and more effective.
Suggestions from other Caregivers:
- Move pages and sections to fit your needs.
- Use the pocket by the Medications section for medication information you receive from the pharmacy.
- Use the calendar to keep track of when to order medications and medical supplies.
- Use the business card holder (the plastic sleeve with business-card size slots) to hold business cards. Write notes on the fronts/backs of the business cards.
- Buy a small blank notebook and keep a daily journal of important events, milestones, and issues you and the patient encounter. Keep it with the binder or slide it into a pocket.'
- Use Section 8 to customize the binder for your needs.
