Your Healthcare Team Are People Too

It is easy to think you are just a number in today's healthcare system. But the men and women who work in healthcare are dedicated to helping YOU stay healthy. But they need your help! Like a saying out of the movie Jerry Maguire-"Help them help you."

Imagine the doctors office first thing in the morning-no one is stressed and everyone is in a good mood. Nice picture right? Why is it that it seems we rarely see that office? How can we help. Being organized! There seems to be countless apps to "help" you get medically organized but often the amount of work to use them is daunting. There is little ability to work with multiple systems. This leaves you with carrying a bag of medications and little sheets of paper with notes or worse depending on your memory (ever left the doctor's office and say I forgot to ask about...). How can you help?

The Guardian System was set up to make it easy for your medical team to find critical information about you and see your health picture in a glance. With the help of the Guardian your health care team in one minute can know about your illnesses, medications, special instructions and know how to contact loved ones if necessary. The Guardian has a handy place to write questions so when the appointment comes you are prepared. In addition there are communications tool so if you specialist has instructions for your primary doctor or vice versa, they can understand each others plans.

Remember your medical team wants to help you. Why not repay the favor and help them too!
