Create a Family Medical Chart
Creating a medical chart for your family members can help them get treated properly, especially if a medical emergency occurs. To make the chart, record the following information for each member in an accessible notebook or file folder:
-
A list of drug and food allergies
-
A list of medications, including the dosages and how often they're taken
-
A list of all the person's doctors' names, addresses and phone numbers
-
Brief medical history, including any chronic conditions
-
Date of last tetanus shot and other immunizations
-
The person's health plan phone number and member number
