Make the record useful

  • Use the actual date. If you are recalling an earlier day, identify it as a later recollection.
  • Include better days and activities you could do, as well as difficulties.
  • Distinguish what you experienced from what someone else told you.
  • If you do not remember a detail, say so rather than guessing.
  • Note practical barriers to appointments, such as transportation or scheduling, and discuss them with your provider.
  • Ask an attorney how to store and share records containing personal health information.
