- Maintain medication, allergy, discharge instruction, restriction, and follow-up question notes.
- Prepare appointment questions and bring someone who can help listen and take notes.
- Track symptoms, activity limits, sleep, milestones, and care-team watch points.
- Confirm medical, legal, insurance, and medication choices with qualified professionals.
