Sharing Wisdom
|

From Maureen in Delaware
Paper copies of your medical records make good sense. Easy to
share, copy, scan, etc. Some of us computer savvy folks think that
using an application makes the best sense. Think again! Doctors do
not want to use unencrypted email attachments or files on thumb
drives because of security concerns. Until electronic medical
records get more sophisticated, paper documents are your best bet.
From Mary in Georgia
Caregivers know the
care a loved one really needs best. So love and value the
caregiver who spends more time with the needful person and keep
your lines of communication open and free.
The best ideas and solutions for taking care of your
loved one often come from other caregivers. Please post your ideas
and insights and we will share them with your fellow caregivers.
