When something goes wrong — a fall, a sudden change, a call to emergency services — paramedics and ER staff need answers fast. What medications are they on? Any allergies? What conditions do they already have? Who should be contacted? Is there an advance care directive? These are the exact questions asked in the first few minutes, and the person you care for may not be able to answer them. Pain, confusion, shock or the event itself can make that impossible in the moment. A stressed family member trying to recall it all from memory, on the spot, rarely does much better.
This is the kind of thing most of us mean to sort out "at some point" — and then don't, until after something has already happened. The few minutes it takes to fill this in now is small compared to what it can mean in the moment: clearer, faster decisions by the people treating them, instead of guesswork under pressure.
This tool just helps you organise that information onto one page. It is not medical advice and does not replace it. Fill it in with the person's actual doctors, medications and current diagnoses, and come back to update it whenever something changes. Keep a copy somewhere it will actually be found — the fridge, a bag that travels with them, or with whoever else helps with their care.
Tip: List contacts in priority order. Include at least two people who can make decisions and one who lives nearby.
Important: Include medications, foods, latex, contrast dye, and anything that has caused a reaction. Note the reaction type if known.
