Patient Journals

One of the most important steps you can take toward being an engaged patient is to keep your own record of your hospital care. Hospitals are busy places and multiple departments and dozens of people may be involved in your treatment. It can be difficult for hospital staff to keep up with everything that goes on with you, but you and your advocate only have to focus on your individual symptoms and progress. Patient Journals contain a series of forms designed to help you to organize your medical information and your own observations.
