Too many medical visits to remember what happened when?
Written records are easier!
Personal Health Data Workbook
This Health data workbook uses a 2 step (summary-detail) structure so you (and your physician) can see a summary (and trends) of your full health care history as well as dig into the details using page links
As soon as you set up a new healthcare appointment, you can go to a “detail” page in this workbook and start writing out information that is important to your upcoming doctor visit (or procedure). During the visit, you should take this workbook with you to the doctor’s office, so you can remember to share all the details for a great decision from the doctor. After the visit, you can note in the detail pages relevant information for next steps as well as link the details page over to a summary page / future visit page.
This workbook allows us to be in control by writing all data from multiple sources in one location. Electronic systems use database technologies like relational
databases and master-detail concepts to efficiently bring data together. We have applied the same concepts, but to a printed version so that you can see
all your data in summary as well as details in this workbook.
Whether you are computer savvy or not, this workbook is a great way to use summary-detail linking technology to see summary of overall health along with
details written on a separate page but linked together.
We recommend every member in the house should have a workbook of their own, and a gift to parents / grandparents will make their life much easier to manage with respect to healthcare visits, imaging, test results management and Rx.
BONUS

Most of us feel our health data is scattered across multiple electronic records and multiple doctors’ offices, leading to a feeling of lack of control. This leads to getting duplicate tests done in many cases as well as incorrect treatment due to misplaced or forgotten health information.
This workbook allows us to be in control by writing all data from multiple sources in one location. Electronic systems use database technologies like relational databases and master-detail concepts to efficiently bring data together. We have applied the same concepts, but to a printed version so that you can see all your data in summary as well as details in this workbook.
As soon as you set up a new healthcare appointment, you can go to a “detail” page in this workbook and start writing out information that is important to your upcoming doctor visit (or procedure). During the visit, you should take this workbook with you to the doctor’s office, so you can remember to share all the details for a great decision from the doctor. After the visit, you can note in the detail pages relevant information for next steps as well as link the details page over to a summary page / future visit page.
The summary page shows you a trend/snapshot of multiple visits to the same doctor, trends in your lab test results over time, Rx usage over time, previous history of hospitalizations, surgeries, ER visits, imaging done etc., all on one summary page so that trends are visible.
This one workbook can replace all the paper notes that you may make for various health visits and history, also allowing you to take it to every doctor’s visit and improving your decision making regarding your own health.
Whether you are computer savvy or not, this workbook is a great way to use summary-detail linking technology to see summary of overall health along with details written on a separate page but linked together.
We recommend every member in the house should have a workbook of their own, and a gift to parents / grandparents will make their life much easier to manage with respect to healthcare visits, imaging, test results management and Rx.
