The Monthly News | |  | | Why It Matters & How Bag It Can Help | March is Records Management Month—a perfect time to assess how you organize and manage your healthcare records. Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis, managing a chronic condition, or simply keeping up with routine checkups, having your medical records organized can save time, reduce stress, and empower you to be an active participant in your care.
Why Keep Your Healthcare Records Organized?Medical records contain essential details about your health history, including test results, treatment plans, medications, and doctor’s notes. Keeping track of these documents helps you:- Ensure accurate and consistent care – Having records readily available helps healthcare providers make informed decisions.
- Prevent duplicate tests and procedures – Access to past test results can save time, reduce costs, and avoid unnecessary procedures.
- Monitor progress and advocate for yourself – Tracking treatment plans, medications, and symptoms allows for better communication with your medical team.
- Prepare for emergencies – Quick access to records can be crucial in urgent situations, especially when visiting new doctors or specialists.
