ESCORTED MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS
Upon arrival to the patient’s destination, our team member will provide a health history report to the receiving doctor or medical facility. This can be a great asset when the patient is not an accurate historian.
We will stay with them during the appointment, and make notes on what transpires during the appointment.
It is helpful to have someone else accompany a senior or any patient and take notes during doctors’ visits. This is especially important with children at work or living in faraway cities. These note takers are another set of ears during the meeting and can also remind the patient of any questions they had been meaning to ask.
Having a note taker is a good way to keep the patient focused. It is good to have back up for patients who have to digest often complicated diagnoses and treatments.
Often the elderly have trouble writing and issues with hearing. The person taking good notes allow the patient to focus on what the medical professional is saying at the time.
