A Short Form for Noting Helpful Information from Health Care Visits
The Rowan Integrated Special Needs (RISN) Center has prepared a very informative 32-page booklet titled, Women's Health and What Every Woman Should Know. Included in this booklet is a two-page form that could be useful for women with disabilities -- and also for men -- as well as for their support staff, in preparation for any type of medical appointment. The form is titled, "Today's Health Care Visit," and it has space to fill in the type of information that will be helpful in preparing for the individual's upcoming health care appointment. There is also a place on the form to note the take-away information from that appointment, including any medication or diet changes; treatment plan recommendations; plans for follow-up; etc
